ABOUT ME:

PERRY BULWER, B.A., LL.B.

Humanist, Free-Thinker, Atheist, Agnostic, Skeptic, Secularist, Experiential Cult Expert, Lawyer, Human Rights Advocate

After escaping the Children of God/The Family International cult in 1991, I earned a B.A. (with distinction) granted by the University of Victoria but earned at Malaspina University-College in 1996, now known as Vancouver Island University. I then went on to earn a law degree at the University of British Columbia in 2002. I was called to the Bar in 2003 and am a member of The Law Society of British Columbia.

You can learn a bit more from the following online profiles:

PHOTOGRAPHY:

All photographs in the Photography section of this site were taken by me with a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ20 while hiking or biking, or from my balcony or in relative's backyards. I don't go out of my way to find my subjects, but simply have my camera always with me and photograph life around me as I encounter it from day to day. I am an amateur photographer, which will be clear when you see my photos.

If you download any of my photos on this site for use on your site, or for any other purpose, could you please credit me and link back to this site. Thanks!

To view my photos scroll down the left-hand column to the various albums in the photography section. I've put a few samples on this page below.
