I spent a few weeks volunteering at Pelee Island bird observatory during the spring migration. We measured the birds and collected data on them. Here are some photos I took of the process.

The first picture is in the netting area after several birds have been extracted.

The second picture is of a yellow breasted chat, a secretive bird that's on the endangered species list.

I had a number of photos about bird banding published by the CBC.

The owl photo is on one of the greeting cards I sell with quintessential Island images on them. I have over 30 different Island cards, including winter scenes, summer images and flood scenes. All cards come with white envelopes. I sell ferry mugs with an image of the Inglis on them. I also sell photo tags with Island winter images. They are sold in batches of 10, with 10 different photos. To check out all my cards or if you're interested in anything click the link in my bio.

Alex and I were doing a photo shoot on the submerged gap during the last flood when the sun just burst through the clouds for a few moments. The light was amazing but it was very difficult to make composites with the image because the sun sunk behind the clouds so quickly all my other photos had completely different light. As a result this ended up being one of the most time consuming edits I've done.

This was taken on a very cold evening. I had to hike my sweatpants up and run in and out of freezing cold Lake Superior for each shot. This one turned out to be my favorite. Car headlights from the highway lit up the hill right behind me at the perfect time. I also captured the Comet Neowise if you look closely.

Due to COVID-19 my exhibition Making the Invisible

Due to COVID-19 my exhibition Making the Invisible Visible that was originally supposed to run in May 2020 has been postponed until May 2021. Its new opening date is May 5, 2021 and the show will run for a month at the Riviera.
The theme of the show is to capture what it is like to live with a TBI (traumatic brain injury) visually. Using photo composites I will illustrate something that's invisible on the outside but debilitating on the inside .

Searching for Silver Linings
This photo is about trying to find the good in a bad situation. I was inspired by the expression every cloud has a silver lining. Over the past 7 plus years I've given a great deal of thought to what I am learning from this experience. I've gained a greater sense of empathy that I don't think you can get unless you've been in a difficult situation. I've also learned to live each day as best I can.
