I've always had a passion for wildlife and nature
and have been shooting since the mid 70's. I got my photography education at Art Center College in
Pasadena California, and proceeded to work in several local pro photo stores. Had a hard time making the switch from film to digital, I guess some things die hard. With the current state of affairs like global warming vanishing species and wilderness, I feel the best way to get the human species to change and start conserving and preserving our planet and all the wonderful creatures and places the good Lord gave us is through education. Nature photography is a great
way to let others see and appreciate fully all the
beauty Mother Nature has to offer. I'm particularly fond of our National Parks and as I get closer to retirement from full time work, I'm
hoping to spend as much time as possible photographing the spectacular wildlife our National Parks have to offer. Glad to be on board
such a fine organization as NPN my best to all!
