Ben Charron has lived what some might call a strange and varied life. He has had the opportunity to observe and interact with many cultures having lived in several places across Canada and in Germany and through his travels in the United States, Mexico, Ireland, Western Europe and Southern Africa. In the process, he has lost his heart, more than once. As a poet, he has written hundreds of poems. As a photographer, he is interested in just about any subject and enjoys creating art from his photographs--which are art in themselves. Combining his love of writing and photography, he has produced several books: some are personal, family-oriented photo books and some for public consumption.
