Edmonton photographer maps out his love of landscapes
When Mark Jinks moved to Alberta from England, he was nine years old. For his family's first holiday, his parents headed west to the Rockies. Jinks instantly fell in love with the mountain parks where his passion for photography was born.
The 46-year-old photographer is now on a quest to see all of the 48 national parks in Canada.
"There's so much to see in Canada, I don't have much desire to travel internationally," Jinks says.
