Meet my good friend Rory McDonell .pipes

If you look up “renaissance Man” or “polymath” in the dictionary, you’d likely see a photo of him.

one of the most learned people I know.

I only discovered relatively recently that Rory was a very accomplished piper. I knew right away I had to photograph that side of his personality. Rory graciously spent an afternoon in studio with us, and I photographed him as he played for us and gave us a history lesson on the various pipes he owns and plays. If you know Rory, you know that you can’t spend any time around him and not learn something. Sometimes its just a new horrible joke, but still you learn “something”

Thanks to for helping me out on this shoot

Trent’s Peterborough campus sits along the bank of the Otonabee river. It’s hard lines and cold facade are nestled in a wonderful natural environment. Surrounded by rivers and trees, the juxtaposition works beautifully. It mirrors the universities diverse course offerings ranging from Physics and chemistry to environmental and conservation sciences.
