“To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

I am not a professional photographer, but I feel most comfortable with camera in hand looking for THAT shot. To put it simply, I just love to take beautiful photographs that move and inspire people, raise questions, or tell a story.

Raised with one foot in Canada and the other in Italy, I have always had a passion for travel and the people, places and things encountered along the way. Although originally self-taught on film, I now operate a completely digital workflow. My work can be best described as observational photography and my general focus is on the ordinary things and serendipitous moments of everyday life that we often let slip by as time moves us forward.

Many many thanks to lensblr for accepting me into your creative ranks and posting my profile on your tumblr. It is a real privilege to be included in such fine creative company.

To my wife, who is beautiful inside and out:

Donna non vidi mai simile a questa! A dirle: "io t'amo" a nuova vita l'alma mia si desta.

Many thanks to Giacomo Puccini and his lyrics above from Manon Lescaut.

Dear fellow Tumblr photographers,

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for your support. I am especially grateful to all those who have taken the time to like/reblog any of my work, as well as my followers, old and new! I hope that my photography gives you that little something, what ever it may be. I look forward to contributing and collaborating much more. Tumblr has really changed the way I find, view, interact with and reflect upon photography. All of you are such rich sources of creative inspiration!
