Public presentations and lectures

My photographic and volunteer work is dedicated to the protection of natural environments. A biologist by training, I have presented numerous lectures on natural history in conjunction with my photography. The audiences include members of nature and photography societies in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and Saskatchewan, as well as local chapters of the Sierra Club, and National Audubon Society in the US.

I am energetic and knowledgeable speaker, and have frequently been invited to give presentations at various conferences and meetings. If you are looking for a speaker for your public event, inquire about our selection of illustrated lectures with a travel, nature, or adventure theme. Presented with hundreds of outstanding photographs, personal insight, and captivating story line, your guests will be quickly immersed in a fascinating virtual journey. I also lead photography workshops and filed trips.
