Casa Loma - Hill House (1258). A Gothic Revival style house and gardens in Toronto. Now a museum and national landmark. Sir Henry Pellatt had the stone mansion built for his residence in 1911. The house cost about $3.5M and took 300 workers three years to build. Because of the start of WWI, construction was halted. Construction was still not complete by WWII. During World War II, Casa Loma was used to conceal research on sonar, and for construction of sonar devices (known as ASDIC) for U-boat detection. It should be noted that most of the work went on behind an area simply segregated with an "Under Repairs" sign, behind a simple sheet. This allowed endless people to come and go dressed as workmen, right under the public's nose. Today it is one of Toronto's most popular tourist attractions.

I was raised in northern New York State before joining the US Navy where I became drawn to the technical aspects of film photography. During my travels I learned composition techniques, developing, and printing from serious amateurs and professionals. I eventually became more interested in the artistic side of this hobby and continued to explore more creative aspects. My interests focus (no pun intended) on the out-of-doors beauty of our world, both natural and man-made. I hope you enjoy viewing my images as much as I have enjoyed capturing them.
