I grew up in southwest Louisiana, never staying far from the wonderful natural areas that the Louisiana gulf coast had to offer. Learning to hunt and fish from my dad, I learned early on to always respect and appreciate nature. Over time, my desire to share with others what I see in nature grew. I attempt to do this through photography. I have been an amateur photographer since late 2001, living in Houston, TX for the last 15 years because of its access to the many shooting locations in this region.
While I try to include images from most areas of nature, my passion is bird photography. This came to be about a few years ago when I began to look closer at birds and how they relate to their environment. There is always beauty to be found in the avian world and I strive to capture it with my own perspective.
Publications include Texas Sporting Journal, The Houston Press, Gulf Coast Bird Observatory Sourcebook, and many state and local conservation newsletters and sites.
To capture my images, I use Canon bodies which include the Canon 1D MkII & 20D DSLR's (digital SLR). I use an assortment of lenses from Canon and Sigma for close-up and telephoto work, working primarily with the Canon 500 f/4 IS lens.
