In June of 1988, Austin moved to Thunder Bay, ON with his wife and son to work as an addiction counsellor. His interests in landscape, nature and portrait photography naturally continued to grow alongside Lake Superior’s viewscapes and in 1997; Austin decided to pursue his love of photography on a full-time basis.
