I bought my first SLR camera in early 70's. It was a Canon FTB. I later moved up to the semi-professional A1 with a motor drive and added a number of telephoto, wide angle and macro lenses. These were film cameras and I still have a mess of old photos and negatives in a box. Eventually I moved into the world of the digital SLR, first with the entry level Canon Digital Rebel, then a Canon 30D followed. After that, I stepped up to the world of the full frame DSLR, Canon 5D Mark II and bought a Canon 50D as a back up. I loved the 5D II so much, I picked up a second one up so I didn’t need to change lenses in the field. More recently I purchased a Canon 5D Mark IV. This is a wonderful camera.

My pride and joy is my Canon 70 - 200 f2.8 zoom, lightning fast but heavy as hell. My every-day lens is a 24 - 70, F 2.8. Check the list for the other lenses in my bag.

Accessories include the usual tripods & unipods as well as a few remote releases, polarizing & neutral density filters and all the stuff that goes along with the digital world of photography. Adobe Photoshop CC is my main editing program, along with a number of NIK and Aurora filter programs. As a result, I shoot most of my photography in RAW format, allowing for more creativity in the digital darkroom.

As you can see from the photo albums available, I have a number of areas of interest. Photography is my serious hobby. By profession, I was a chiropractor, with an added certification in Animal Chiropractic. I practiced in Etobicoke from 1976 to 2021. I’m now retired.
