Welcome to My Journey Through Time and Place
I'm thrilled to share with you my book series, a heartfelt project born from my dual heritage as an American with Canadian roots. My passion for unearthing and documenting the hidden historical gems of our continent has led me on countless adventures.
Through my photography, I strive to capture the ethereal beauty and the layered histories of these overlooked locales. My lens not only freezes a moment in time but also invites you to delve into the narrative of these places, to sense their past vibrancy, and to feel the echoes of their stories.
My work is more than just photography; it's an invitation for you to embark on your own explorations. It's a celebration of North America's rich tapestry of history, aiming to preserve and present this heritage in a way that bridges the past to the present, ensuring these stories are cherished and passed on for generations to come.
Join me on this extraordinary journey, where we'll uncover together the remarkable tales that weave the fabric of our shared history.

Welcome to "Losing Louisiana," a photographic odyssey through the forgotten corners of Louisiana, where each abandoned structure tells a story of time, change, and the enduring spirit of a place deeply rooted in history and culture. This collection invites you into the heart of Louisiana's neglected past, exploring the eerie silence of deserted hospitals, the solemnity of empty schools, the haunting beauty of forsaken homes, and a medley of other places left to the whims of nature and time.
The French Quarter, available July 31st, often referred to as the Vieux Carré, stands as the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans, encapsulating a rich tapestry of history, architecture, and culture. Established by the French in 1718, its layout and buildings reflect a blend of French, Spanish, and Creole influences. The architecture here is a feast for the eyes, characterized by colorful Creole townhouses with ornate iron balconies, courtyards hidden behind high walls, and the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, which dominates Jackson Square.
