There is nothing in my experience quite like being out somewhere trying to capture with a camera the scenes, wildlife and settings that nature provides. Whether shooting for a major publication or a private client, the sheer joy of being able to get to some of these places and see them in person is a major part of my life. Then, crafting these images into the results that will be printed or published is the icing on the visual cake. After 30 years of active photography, I honestly can say that the thrill still is there. I hope that it is communicated in my images and that those images help make others aware of the need to preserve this planet's natural wonders.
