Brian Becker

When I think back its been a journey. My first five years post grad were spent between working in the construction field to pay for travels through Europe, South America, Central America, Mexico and Canada. Three years of post secondary studies in Visual Communications lead me to Toronto for 81/2 years to pursue career interests. I then returned to the west coast and spent some creative time in different spaces and places including Yaletown, Deep Cove, Tofino, North Vancouver, SW Calgary Banff and now Kelowna via other short stops along the way.

The past couple years have been filled with changes of both work and location. I have just spent the last year in Prince Rupert, Smithers, Kamloops and now Kelowna since Feb 2007. Feeling a bit like a gypsy with my home in storage and only that which I can carry with me at the moment.

Sometimes when you lift up or remove all the anchors of life ( mortgages, home, job, and family) you begin to blow around like wind on the ocean.
The past year has been a bit like that but if there is one thing I have come to understand and truly appreciate it is the freedom to just be.

Lots of personal interest in wellness, staying active and a future that holds I hope for your children the opportunity that was available to all of us. Computer technology has entered into my life in recent years and the images that are here to view are really just explorations of mouse and mind. Enjoy!

I like the "photos", but they look more like digital cartoon/ collage thingys (technical jargon).

Out of interest, how did you get that camera angle in the Flying Emeralds shot? And where exactly is the parachutist going to land?

Hi Brian,
Wow, it sounds like you have come and gone a long way in the last years. I like your work-something different to catch the eye. Not sure if you're coming to the reunion-hope so, I'd like to touch base.
