About William (Bill) Armstrong ^club

William Armstrong

Photography is an extension of my previous work as a journalist, corporate and government communicator, and freelance writer. Finding and telling a story is important to me, both in words and images.
Some people have the misperception that there is "nothing to see" in Saskatchewan, where I live. On the contrary, there is more than enough to see just in southern Saskatchewan to fill a lifetime, with a least another lifetime required to appreciate the sights and sounds of the parklands and boreal forest further north.
