Awards

Merle's goal to obtain the highest degree of recognition amongst his peers was earned by winning many awards in almost every category both here and abroad.

His Master of Photographic Arts Degree was awarded to him in 1980, and Fellow and Service Awards later for his involvement in the community as the past President of the Professional Photographers of British Columbia.

The friendships he has made through professional associations, traveling and experiencing the many different cultures throughout the world have been very rewarding.
