Quebec City is the capital of Quebec and the second largest city in the province. Quebec's Old Town (Vieux-Québec) is the only North American fortified city north of Mexico whose walls still exist. The wall surrounds most of Old Quebec and was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1985. It was founded in the early 17th century by French explorer Samuel de Champlain. In Quebec’s Upper and Lower Towns, above and below the cliff, you can find at least 11 architectural styles, ranging from Classical Revival (1790-1820) to International Style (1930-1965). The area is also home to the Plains of Abraham, where a pivotal battle between the French and English in 1759 shaped the future of North America.

I am constantly amazed and humbled by the incredible beauty that surrounds us. From the awe inspiring creations of Mother Nature, to the wonderful rustic charm of a historical building, to the spectacular geometrical design of modern day architecture, beauty can be found at each and every turn. My love of photography began at the age of nine when my parents gave me my very first camera. Little did I know that it would develop in to a life long passion. Although my true love is wildlife photography, I simply can't resist photographing anything of beauty. My hope is that in sharing my work I give others a new found appreciation of the beautiful gifts that we so often take for granted. Please note that watermark will not appear on...
