The year that I lived in Australia the TV was so bad (to me) that I started to paint and take photographs. Being in a new location is great for capturing images - lots of new sights to experience. Sydney was great for the juxtaposition of British colonial sandstone buildings with new glass office building, beaches and the beautiful harbour that fed my desire to capture images of water.
By the time I left Australia I knew I had to go to art school. So when I got back to Toronto, I studied film and photography. For four years I travelled with a film camera (8mm and 16mm), video (super-8 or digital) and my single lens reflex stills camera. Spurred on by the water images I collected in Australia, I continue to collect watery footage and photos in Barbados, England, Ireland, France, Greece, New Zealand and the US. Clearly, I am complelled to do this. I have yet to discover to what end.
In the spirit of watery images, here are a few from my trip to Vancouver Island. I travel a lot lighter these days - a point and shoot digital and my iPhone (with a couple of nifty photo apps).
