Fred is a veteran photojournalist who resides near Bobcaygeon. After almost 30 years working for newspapers he decided to take the high road and move to his property on Pigeon Lake with his wife Jacqueline and daughter Emily.
His lists of accomplishments in the photographic industry are lengthy. He has won numerous awards including two prestigious National Newspaper Awards.
He has traveled around the world on photographic assignment covering events such as the Gulf War, civil strife in Latin and South America and Afghanistan. His coverage of sporting events includes everything from Stanly Cup hockey, to the World Series to Olympic Games and World Cup Soccer. He considers himself privileged to have traveled with and photographed extensively the late Pope John Paul II.
Despite his experience at major world events Fred finds the hidden bays and marshes of the Kawarthas, a photographic challenge. While he still spends time in the city of Toronto as photographer for The Toronto Blue Jays and covering national stories for Reuters News Service, he is at home here. He can often be found at dawn on Pigeon Lake.
His photography workshops were born out of a teaching position he holds at Seneca College on the campus of York University. His photography in his own words is a combination of many different skills. Today’s technology combined with old school knowledge of light, aperture and shutter-speed.
Every time you pick up a camera there is the opportunity to make something really special Fred says. One of those precious moments in time, of kids of family of life.
