Donald was born in 1958 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada and moved to America with his family at age 11. He grew up in Troy, Manchester, and Barrington, New Hampshire. When he purchased his first camera at the age of 18 it changed the course of his life. He has become a self taught professional Photographer and a self proclaimed recluse.

For over 20 years he has been photographing landscapes and more recently focusing on night and moonscape photography. He has a unique style and is working on perfecting all aspects of it. Currently he is developing a new innovative technique in photography which he calls “Maceacrepulation”. He hopes to reveal the details in a future book entitled: “The Night: The Secret Unlocked” (The Art Of Maceacrepulation).
