Simon came to Canada from Britain in the mid 1960s as a recent graduate architect. He soon joined the firm Arthur Erickson Architects. Then in the early 1970s he spent two years in Rome working on the photography and design of the book “In Italy” with the late Rollof Beny.
On Simon’s return to Vancouver he photographed for, and designed, the book “The Architecture of Arthur Erickson” for which he was awarded the “American Institute of Graphic Arts” prize.
He then formed his own practice of “architectural photograph and presentation”. He retained Arthur Erickson as a long term client as well as working with many other architectural and development offices. His work has been widely published.
Simon met Erickson in 1965 and was with him two days before he died.
For several years he has been director of the “Arthur Erickson Foundation”.
