“Say, how many years has it been since you last presented a show in Ottawa, before this month’s shows that is? Seems like a decade. Glad to see you have not lost your love of travel and photography. I am also glad YOU went to South America (and not I). I’m not big on user unfriendly countries. I did three trips in those but I was accompanied by a tour guide, thank God! Thanks again for coming back down east. It is always nice to encourage a Canadian talent.” (Mario Lagacé, Ottawa, Ontario)

It was even better than I expected (and I had HIGH expectations given all the hype I’d heard).

I particularly liked your use of video and stills – and your sense of humour is refreshing! Keep up the great work!” (Eryn Wiedner, Vancouver)

You entertaining and wonderful stories even made me forget about how sore my butt was from the theater’s seats. ;0) You are truly a character that everyone would want to be their travel buddy and for a brief moment you are.

“Great show as usual! Everyone I was with thought it was a amazing and wanted to know all about how the whole show was put together.The technical glitch really didn’t detract at all … in fact I think it kinda helped everyone settle in and get cumpfy. It was a whole bunch of fun and everyone went away smiling!” (Sheldon Little, Toronto)

“I saw both of your shows this past week in Calgary and thought they were fabulous. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I don’t think I’ve ever met a more engaging person.

“My wife and I attended your presentation “Solo in South America .” We thoroughly enjoyed he evening and felt that you gave very good value for our money. Not only did your technical expertise and application surpass our expectations but also your live creativity and audience interaction. Your presentation was a theatrical presentation, not “just” a travelogue. But more, as well as conveying a vivid and enthralling view into the countries you visited, you were also a teacher of values. In sharing yourself, and in demonstrating your personal interaction with the people you met and photographed you taught us consideration and empathy for locals, appropriate behaviour, and you demonstrated an enthusiasm for sharing and adventuring – you illustrated courage as well as compassion. I hope some of these skills will stick with us in our future travels. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself.” (Brian & Sandy Wyndham, Surrey , B.C)
