...grew up traveling around Ontario with his family. They eventually settled in London where Devin finished high school and began working as a carpenter.

A few more years passed: Devin’s passion set into motion as he began documenting the colourful people around him.

“I like the openness of the lake. I like going to the lake because it makes me feel more openminded; it makes me feel free in my head. I know this because I lived by the lake for a while and then moved inland for a year, and I was a mess. I felt lost and faraway. I ended up moving back to Goderich and realized that I need the water by my side – at least a walk’s distance away. I don’t know what it is; I’m sure we could break the science down, but I just know that I like it and I need to have it with me.
