On In Memory of Ronnie Gaubert, May 10, 2011
Very sad to hear about this, Ronnie was one of the best nature photographers I have seen.  I was thinking about him the other day while I was photographing at Sweetwater Wetlands.  His photographs of ordinary birds would make them look exceptional with how he composed the scene and his use of light.  He will certainly be missed.  Best wishes to his family and friends.
