ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Hosta, & Solomon Seal in the early morning post-rain light. There was a heavy rain that lasted all through an August weekend & drenched everything in rainwater. As the rain ended, the morning sunlight pushed through the misty clouds creating this powerful light & everything was silvery & glowing. I wanted to use the textures, light & water to create an abstract, surreal image with intense drama.

Bruce's career in the film & television industry helped shape him as a visual storyteller as he studied how to convey emotion & concepts through lighting, composition & expression under award winning filmmakers & visual storytellers. Over 10 years ago, Bruce moved to Eastern Ontario to continue to work in & contribute to the developing Film & Television Industry in Ottawa, Ontario.

"My creativity is hardwired to my emotional state & a lot of my inspiration is driven by the concept of nostalgia. When I see something that connects to a feeling inside me, I want to capture it, I want to study it and I want to share it. I like to let time influence my creative decisions in my art, so I will let photographs sit for years before I develop them. I curate my life with emotion, moments in time & inspiration & I love to use photography as a way to build on that collection. Sharing these collections & emotions with people that see what I see & feel what I feel really excites me."
