“For me, living fully awake means embracing all species with the same level of respect and kindness. Being a joyful vegan doesn’t take willpower – just a willingness to try new things and choose mercy over misery.” -Mark Hawthorne Cute rabbits can be found just munching on their veggies: Eastern Cottontail Rabbit eating.

The best day of birdwatching locally that I have ever had, Maybe the best day of birdwatching overall. I am not one who usually subscribes to the belief that everything happens for a reason. But, I do think if things happen for a reason they lie more in the mundane everyday aspects of life than they do int the big amazing miraculous ways. And I was able to enjoy this amazing day… 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

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

I often like to spend time photogrpahing things that might be considered ordanary. Parts of life that seem mundane. Something that is just normal. Take that thing and shine a light on it. Stop and look more closely. See it for what it is. Don’t just ignore it. This is what I think of when I think of the often Maligned Whited Tailed Deer.

I really enjoy photographing birds. I especially like birds that are mostly found in and around water. Birds that make their homes in or rely on wetlands for their survival. Wetlands birds come in so many shapes and varieties. From duck like birds to shore birds. And even amongst shore birds there is such a wide variety of birds. From tiny birds that are hard to see to the enormous Great Blue… Read More

We were expecting Bears and what we got was Deer. All of the research and information we read about Shenandoah National Park talked about Bears. It seemed like you would go for a casual stroll and just see a handful of bears right along the side of the road. Talk of bear boxes and proper storage of food. Reading about the highest concentrations of black bears. Constant mentions of bears on every… 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 have developed a great fondness for birds over the years of my photography. I always enjoy seeing new and different birds. The more you spend time watching birds the opportunities to find new birds are fewer and farther in between. You’ve now seen all the obvious birds. To find birds you haven’t seen or don’t see often you may have to look closer. Look deeper. Small birds are often overlooked or… Read More
