Mission

business

As long as I can remember, photography has been one of my favorite pastimes. Now that my daughters are adults, I am able to pursue what I have always dreamed of doing - photographing wildlife in its natural habitat. Photography is one aspect of my life where I am able to combine my love of wildlife, appreciation of the great outdoors and artistic abilities and have a wonderful time in the process. I am very passionate about wildlife and nature photography. One of my professional goals is to help increase public awareness of the wonders of wildlife and our natural heritage through my images. I enjoy working with photographers of all skill levels.

I encourage you to become more aware of the beauty in nature and challenge you to become more involved in preserving it for future generations.

"Passion is the key. I love being outdoors among wildlife. I love seeing and 'feeling' the beauty around me. There is nothing I like better than capturing what I love on film to share with others in the hope of instilling the same appreciation for wildlife and nature."

I have used Nikon cameras and lenses since 1970. My basic equipment consists of 3 Nikon F5s, Jan with 600 at BosqueNikon F100, Nikon D-1 plus a various assortment of lenses, ranging from the Tokina 17mm to the Nikkor 400 & 600 AF-S. I use the Gitzo G-1548 Mountaineer carbon fibre tripod with the Wimberley tripod head together with Really Right Stuff quick-release mounting plates with the longer lenses. Agfa RSX-II 100, Fuji Provia F & Velvia are my films of choice. I use Lexar Digital Film and SanDisk CompactFlash memory cards with my D1. My favorite camera bag & backpack is Lowepro's Pro Trekker which typically holds an F5 & D1, Nikkor 600 AF-S, Nikon TC-14E, Nikkor 80-200 AF-S, Nikkor 28-70 AF-S & Tokina 400 & 17. The camera vest I wear is one that I had customized for me by Vested Interest.
