BIOGRAPHY

Hmmm, the dreaded "who am I" part of the website....

My name is Greg Harvey. I own a personal training company in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada called Fit 'N' Well Personal Training.

By about this time, you may be wondering what any of this has to do with photography; well it doesn't. Not yet anyway, keep reading :)

 Since the year 2000, I have been taking pictures of wildlife on every holiday that I have been on hoping that out of the 300-500 pictures that I take each trip, that one or two of them will be unique enough to enlarge, frame and hang on a wall at home as a reminder of each excursion. In 2002, my fiance; Gaye, got hooked on the photography trips as well. Today, each picture in our house has a story and each one is framed with a plaque below it with a caption and where it was shot.

Over the past few years I have gotten a lot of compliments on our  framed wildlife prints, so I have been selling them to anyone who shows an interest in our work.  My latest frustration however is around greeting cards. I like to send greeting cards to clients and friends, but I don't send near as many as I should. I just don't like the cards in the stores. They always have some silly expression that isn't appropriate for the occasion that I am buying the card for. I really don't have time to shop for this kind of thing, so I just don't send them as often as I should. Up until now, I guess I have just been happy justifying why I don't send out many cards to people. Besides, anything that I want to say, I can always send cheaper and faster by e-mail right? How often do we get thank you cards anymore though? Or for that matter, how often do we receive  any personal letters in the mail anymore? The mail box is mainly just a place I go to get my bills. I certainly don't enjoy the walk to the mail box as much as I used to before e-mail came along.

I designed a line of blank greeting cards and I hope you will enjoy them. Use them for birthdays, thank you notes, anniversaries, baby showers or any special occasion that you see fit. I won't put any tacky expressions on the inside, so you can write what ever you want on the inside and send a tasteful card that has an attractive exterior that will be appropriate for any occasion at any time of the year.

Come back and visit our website regularly. On my next trip, I will be off to Russia in October, 2005 looking for those one or two great pictures of Marco Polo Sheep and Ibex.

Thanks for the visit. Come back soon.

Greg Harvey.
