More than anywhere else, British Columbia feels like home. From my first visits to eventually settling in the province, its landscapes have continually inspired and challenged me as a photographer. From the pristine Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary on the north coast to the East Kootenays, where I now call home, I am constantly amazed by the scale, diversity, and wildness of this place. Even after years of exploring, there are countless corners of the province and in my own backyard I have yet to experience, and that sense of discovery is part of what keeps drawing me back into the field.
