I developed marketing copy targeting private surgeons in Southwestern Ontario for a turnkey service. I also provided the acquisition of stock photography, and layout services for a 12-page brochure. In addition, I created a business card and website with the same visual scheme.

For this client, I created a comprehensive marketing strategy including brochures, magazine advertisements, and a 20-foot tall banner to hang on the side of a local hospital. I also provided writing, layout and graphic acquisition for a simple single-fold brochure targeted at family physicians and other medical specialists as an introduction to the investment opportunity.

I created this memorial website on a pro-bono basis as a special request from the deceased's family. The story of his murder was, at the time, receiving some publicity as one of the perpetrators was up for parole after serving time in prison. The writing on the site had to be carefully crafted to reflect the [...]

Beige Shelter had the pleasure of being interviewed on Passion Projects TV. I'm the percussionist, occasional songwriter, and producer for the band. Our host was journalism student Kayla Douglas.

I got to chat with hosts Hugh and Yaz on a show called Liquid Lunch about my songwriting, Song Talk Radio, Beige Shelter, my blog, photography, and my Meetup groups. They also played my music video for Holiday Shopping Spree. I also [...]

I only packed my zoom lens, to get close as possible to the runners, and stay as far away as possible from the explosions of coloured [...]

For my third time experiencing the short-lived beauty of the Cherry Blossoms, I had camera in toe once again. The first time was a dawn-time photoshoot, and the second time I decided to focus on the people. This time, I used a neutral density filter to increase shutter times dramatically. This gave some of the [...]

The annual Zombiewalk in Toronto is an amazing event for photographers. In no other public situation are so many people willing and eager to have their photos taken. I'm always impressed with the creativity these zombies put into their costumes, everything from subversively comical to classy to terrifying. For this photoshoot, I purposely underexposed each [...]
