have been compared to the work of the
great photographer, Ansel Adams.

“| like to use my camera as a way of
exploring my fascination with other
people, other cultures and different en-
vironments,” said Finnigan. “At the
same time | have always been drawn to
the almost mystical beauty of desolate,
uninhabited landscapes where the time-
less force of nature asserts its own
power. Too often we look at nature in
terms of its relationship to our own lives
rather than as an environment with its
own life and rhythms.”

Four of Finnigan’s black-and-white na-
ture photos are now on art cards
available at the Douglas College Book
Store. The New Westminster native
completed the Graphic Design program
in 1981 just before the program was
transferred to Kwantlen College. He
later graduated at the top of his class
from Montreal’s Dawson Institute of
Photography. Finnigan has lived and
worked in Australia, the Northwest
Territories, and Fiji and now resides
in Banff. m
