Bruce Miller
Profile
I developed an interest in photography in the early 80’s. I later studied Fine Art at the University of Ottawa. It was a great program with a lot of freedom to do whatever you wanted. But I liked getting a pay check too much to become a fulltime artist.
For years I worked with the frail elderly, mostly people with Alzheimer’s. In the mid 90’s I started workng with street people and addicts with HIV and have long had a passion for this. I was always the guy who roots for the underdog!. I’m still there.
Increasingly over the last few years, I’ve been coming back to photography and my passion for it has been reignited.
