Growing up in a small rural town, regular trips to the “big city,” and sitting on a street corner bench with his dad watching the world go by, had a profound influence on his life as an observer of everything. Certain illicit substances of the '70s provided an escape, and later a profound influence on his work, from the mundane existence of a teenager in a rural prairie town. Thus Greg’s personal work tends to be either stark black and white or highly saturated colour imagery. Greg’s work harkens to by-gone days whether it be people, buildings, or still life. Although nothing is off-limits from his lens. Of late, he has found a burning desire to document our world as it transitions from one of beauty into something far less…what have we done? Photography has taken him to four continents - with more in his plans. His love of the people of the “third world” has meant many trips to Mexico, El Salvador, and Guatemala. The people draw him back, the need to help them re-claim their way of life from the influence of multi-national corporations a burning desire. He is currently working on two long-term documentary projects…one on veterans (364 1/4) and one on gender (the H project). He is represented by a stock agency and a pair of assignment services. Greg’s other passion is mentoring aspiring photographers. He has taught Photojournalism for the past 17 years. Greg is an editorial, commercial, and fine art photographer - and a product of the '70s!
