As far back as i remember i was always fascinated by beauty that this world has.   One of the times as a child of about 6 or 7 after being beaten up while on my way home.  I felt defeated and alone I sat on the floor and was crying and looked up and some how the wall i was sitting against was facing a sun set.  i was by an intersection and could literally see the sun at the end of the street as is went down the clouds just changed color and i was blown away and felt a sense of calm come over me.   All I remember feeling was sadness that no one else was sitting where I was to see such a moment.

​

In high school in Canada i didn't know what path i was going to take.  What career i wanted to follow.   So the school sent me on a 2 month long practicum to local photography store.  This was in the 90s when film was the only photography medium.  There was no digital cameras.  The photographer who owned the store showed me all kinds of things from the camera  to dark room developing.  Mounting a photo to a photo board attacking a matt and framing the photo.   

 

In the front galley of his shop was this very large photo of an old well maintained steam train. Steam bellowing out of the top.   I ask him Barry(the photographer) about the photo and he told me how the train was being decommissioned and this was is very last run.  It had been in service for so many just under 100 years.  I wish I could remember the name of the train but it was beautiful and great and sadly children of today will never truly see the like again other then in a museums.  Barry told me he had been told about this event of the train having its last run.  So he  went some where her believed he would get a good vantage point of it.  He set up a tent and waited almost 3 days to catch one image.  Remember the camera he had only held about 32 images.  There was no photoshop.  Every thing had to be perfect for that one moment.   To be seen by others like i wanted when I saw that sunset.  I was fascinated but being my age I didn't have any sense of patience for dark room.  

​

So I chose computer and network engineering.  I did that for quiet some time but the money just wasnt there any more for me.  So I changed career to being a truck driver.  It paid well but i was working long hours and most of it at night.  I felt my creative energy dying.  This was in the early 2010s when digital cameras were every where.  So i bought a cheep Canon T3 with the plan to take pictures of landscape.  Next thing i know i have people asking me to shoot behind the scenes of movies and tv shows.   Asking me to attend events and shoot people having fun.  People asking me take photos for there Facebook profiles.  Then models wanting me to help them grow.  people asking me to shoot there weddings.  Before i knew it Angry Angel photography had turned from a project in to a small business and a way to feed my creativity.
