Over the years there are three topics I have become increasingly interested in: The environment, Health, and Animal Welfare. I have engaged in these topics in a variety of ways from reading books and articles and listening to podcasts on the subjects to writing letters to government officials to encourage support or rejection of legislature, and donating to not for profits that support these causes. And finally it came to changing the… Read More

When I first got into photography I imagined photographing majestic creatures. Bears, mountain lions, moose and similar animals. I was inspired by the types of stunning imagery you see in National Geographic. And while I have been fortunate enough to se and photograph a few of those types of animals on occasion they do not make up the bulk of my wildlife photography. The real key is to come to appreciate the… Read More

As I was going through my list of subjects I have pointed a camera at I came to fish. I thought it would be really interesting to look through some of these images and pick out a few that I liked the best. I wasn’t really sure what I would see as I browsed the images. I don’t photogrpah fish of any sort very often. And I don’t often have occasion to… Read More

Salamanders are so cool and very elusive. I wish I spent as much time looking for them and successfully finding them now as I did as a child. Sometimes I get lucky and just find a salamander right where I can train my lens on it. It always seems if I am intentionally seeking out a salamander to photograph I can never find one. I have seen salamanders on the edges of… Read More

I photograph a wide variety of subjects. I generally photograph what I love. And I love wildlife. I don’t photograph wildlife as much as I would like even though wildlife photography was my inspiration for starting this photography journey. I think a large part of this is because wildlife photography has a large component of luck. We rely on the animals showing up, and there is no guarantee that will actually happen…. Read More

Photographing wildlife is one of the most amazing experiences I have had as a photographer. Have I ever photographed a Lion? No. Have I ever photographed a wolf? Not in the wild. Have I ever photographed a grizzly bear? No. You may be asking yourself, how amazing of an experience can photographing wildlife be if I haven’t photographed any of these oft depicted big game animals? Photographing local wildlife is amazing, because… Read More

I love zoos. We have had going to zoos as a tradition for us for a long time. I hadn’t been to a zoo in a while until recently. But, zoos were instrumental in shaping my love for animals and in developing and shaping my love and skills in photography. There can be some controversy surrounding zoos and the lives animals have there. They can be very important things that we should… Read More

I’m going to give it to you straight. I am not really a cat person. My wife might dispute this and tell you that deep down in the depths of my heart I am definitely a cat person. But I will refute that to the day I die. So, you may be thinking, if you are not a cat person why are you writing a blog post about cats? I’ll take a… Read More

I have always loved animals. Then after taking the one and only arts class I took in college I began to realize I could merge my love of animals with this creative side I never really thought I had. I dreamed of being a big game photographer. Watching National Geographic and reading the magazine. Seeing the amazing photography and images of majestic wildlife. I wanted to do that. As I began to… Read More

Red Squirrel perched on a tree branch. Small critters in the woods can be a challenge. They tend to move around a lot. You can’t always get close. You need a long lens. There often isn’t a lot of light to have a fast shutter speed. The animals can hide out in shaddows. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome to achieve a decent photograph of woodland creatures. Photo details: Nikon… Read More
