About Wayne

Photography has been one of the constants in my life. I
knew exactly what I wanted to do career wise from age 6
and up. I was going to be a geologist! I worked towards
a major in geology and spent time in the Saskatchewan
North prospecting. In my second career I drew custom
house designs and then moved on to designing/drawing
architectural and structural precast for major projects
from high-rises to bridges. I entered into adult
education in 1983 and have been involved at various
levels from Curriculum Developer to Instructor to
Program Coordinator and Acting Dean. I am currently
Program Head for the Wascana Campus, SIAST Applied Arts
Programs in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.

I went through the portfolio submission process with the
Saskatchewan Professional Photographers Association
(SPPA) and the Professional Photographers of Canada
(PPOC), and have been an active member since 1997. I
hold a Bachelor's Degree in Vocational Technical
Education and Graduate Classes from the University of
Regina, and a Certificate in Photography from the New
York Institute of Photography. Not quite a straight line
of career advancement into professional photography but
it has all been interesting and throughout everything I
have always made sure that photography has been an
integral part.

Wayne has served on the executive of the Professional
Photographers of Canada, Saskatchewan chapter and will
return to the executive in 2009 as Vice-President.
