My Similkameen Life

I lived,worked and traveled as a fotographer for many years in California,Europe,and now reside on a farm in the Northern Most region of the Sonoran Deseret in Southwest interior of British Columbia. I have a farm in the beautiful valley of the Similkameen and work in various artisan trades as I strive to make my farm sustainable . I build natural clay ovens and I am an artisan baker as well as an artisan builder and finisher with natural plasters,but in my heart I am always a traveler, always interested in people,faces,places, and great food and an appreciation for beautifully crafted homes and natural beauty.
