Let me introduce you to my wonderful friend Doug Koyama. Doug is such an important person in the BC festival world and to so many festival organizers, performers, and audience members, that I thought he deserved his very own post :-).
I first met Doug at the campground by the Horsefly River on the first day of Arts on the Fly 2012. My camera and I loved him right away. Since then, I’ve snapped hundreds of shots of Doug. Here are a few.
