Each of photography’s many genres presents challenges. Of the many genres I have engaged, from street photography to metaphoric art, the most challenging and rewarding has been wildlife.

I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember learning the habits, habitat, behavior and life cycle of the other creatures with whom we share this planet. Having an appreciation and admiration of the beauty, strength, intelligence, adaptability, social structure, and other characteristics of the many life forms in the animal kingdom, I, later welcomed, and to this day still welcome, the self-imposed challenge of photographing many of those species in their wild and undisturbed environment. Having years of acquired knowledge of my subjects has aided in overcoming the challenge of capturing their light without interfering with their normal behavior. An equal, if not greater, benefit of this endeavor is spending days or weeks enjoying the health benefits to the body and soul by visiting some of the few remaining pristine areas of the natural world.
