CAN Fund 2014 Calendar

Although I run one of Canada's top ad agencies I continue flex my photography muscles from time to time. I donated hundreds of hours to craft unique images of Canada's top athletes to raise over $100,000 for CAN Fund to support our future podium stars. The calendar just won Gold for Photography at the International Summit Creative Awards.
