Creemore photographer chronicles lifelong journey

Creemore photographer Bryan Davies has published a memoir, Exploring the Light: My Visual Journey.

The book chronicles his photographic adventures in a book that is part biography and part how-to guide.

“Being a writer and a photographer, documenting my unusual experiences and tying it into photographic images was a natural progression,” said Davies.

He said as he reflected on his career he realized he had been on a journey that has taken him many places and has allowed him to meet many people.

From 1957, when he set out on his photographic journey at the age of 12 with a Brownie Hawkeye camera, a gift from his grandmother, all the way to China where one of his photos was in a travelling show of Canadian photographers.

Photographs taken locally, in parts of Canada and the United States and abroad, including France, Italy and Mexico.

“My camera has been my trusted guide and friend along this incredible lifetime of journey of exploring the light. Photography has enriched my life beyond measure. It has taught me to see and appreciate beauty in simple things and it continues to inspire me daily as I progress along the visual path,” writes Davies.

The book is available for $40 at Curiosity House Books in Creemore at Booklore in Orangeville and online.
