How I became a Photographer Part Two ...... Dynamite to MegaPixels

The North Vancouver waterfront photographs morphed into early morning expeditions to downtown Vancouver and then on to an odd fascination with alley ways

The combination of working in the alley ways, and getting more familiar with the Downtown Eastside residents led me down a new path.Coupled with ongoing curiostiy regarding the anti-Sea to Sky/anti-Olympics protesters .....I started photographing protests and rallies
