The Beauty Of Wildlife Photography
I have always had a love for photography. Growing up, I took classes and played with old film cameras. It wasn't until my mid-twenties that I was able to truly pursue photography, and what started as a childhood hobby went on to be my greatest passion. I've been lucky enough to photograph many subjects. I've shot portraits, landscapes, vehicles, and architecture, but nothing compares to the beauty that is photographing wildlife. It an almost magical feeling that fills me with more joy than I can possibly describe. I've always had a love for nature, but photography has given me so much more of a desire to work with it and capture the beauty of the animals we so often take for granted.

Photography
When I snap the shutter of my camera. It takes time to find what I plan on shooting. When I take a photo trip my day is planned on where I will go. I have gone to places expecting to get a story and have left with nothing. then there are times I just bring my camera just incase and have filled half a memory card (500ish photos). My vision is unclear I look for something that no one else sees. Sometimes it is easy sometimes not. The story can be ugly or beautiful. I have thousands of shots not all good however I can tell you where most of them were captured.

Hello, Bear!
I hope I see some bears while I’m here. That was the main thought in my head as I pulled into a long dirt driveway in the backwoods of northern Minnesota. I’d flown to Minneapolis-St. Paul from Boston, rented a car, and driven the rest of the way. It had been a long day, and the late afternoon sun slanted through the branches of the surrounding trees.

Backyard Critters: Squirrel Edition
My favorite way to relax, is to sit in my kitchen chair, sip my coffee and watch my backyard friends munch away on their seeds. When I first lured a squirrel into my backyard, with an ear of corn, I was jumping for joy. For some reason these creatures have always fascinated me. I was determined to get as close as possible and hoped he (or she) would eat from the palm of my hand. We're still working on that part...

Mischievous Macaw
I wish I could say that this photo was taken on some grand, wild adventure. But alas, I met this incredibly talkative and cheeky macaw at the Naples Zoo in Florida. It wasn’t the first time we had met; I grew up visiting this zoo and there was always an assortment of rescued birds who called the zoo home.

Merry, Merry King of the Bush is He.
Most people are familiar with the iconically Australian sound that is the cackle of the Kookaburra. There is nothing quite as "Home among the Gumtrees" as sitting on your back verandah on a warm afternoon and hearing the symphony that is a mob of Kooka's echoing from the bush.

On Squirrels, or: The Joy of the Unwilling Photo Subject. Top Story - April 2021.
There's a story behind my first squirrel picture. I was coming home from a different photo opportunity - a little concert in an indie music store, perfectly lit to the eye but it might has well have been half a mile below the surface to the camera. As I passed through a small park, I noticed a single squirrel skulking around in front of an adjacent business. Inspiration struck: As long as I'm carrying this gear bag, why not try to get a shot of the little furball?

Imogen Cunningham, a photographic artist.
Imogen Cunningham, a photographic artist who rose to conspicuousness in the mid twentieth century, was confronted with the test of setting up herself in a generally male-ruled industry. "I used to say that Imogen's blood was three percent acidic corrosive. She appeared to have a corrosive response to so numerous things, and she could be unexpected," Ansel Adams once said about her.
