Michael has always enjoyed using a camera. As an instructor for SD # 45 West Vancouver, he was provided with the facilities and resources to pioneer the integration of technology into the B.C. senior art program. He developed courses in computer art and design, digital photography, requiring his students to maintain digital portfolios of their work.
In 2004, he shot the “ 2005, Back the Bluffs" calendar, that was produced for local residents who needed to raise funds to fight the BC Government’s decision build a highway through the sensitive Eagleridge Bluffs / Wetlands eco - system, above Horseshoe Bay. The making of the Calendar is featured in the documentary film “Naked” produced by independent filmmaker Mary Bissell, and is aired frequently on CBC.
Michael enjoys photographing people. By taking the time to develop a connection with his subjects, Michael 's portraits of them captures their inner light, uniqueness, and spirit.
