Photography is more than holding a camera and snapping photographs. It is a time for exploring nature and spending time with the one you love!
"Photography is truly an art of passion and expression. It provides me with the ability to capture nature's amazing landscapes and wildlife on film. While I am photographing, I feel at peace with nature, and it is during these moments that I begin to better understand the world and my place within it."
I include a photo of my wife and I here because she has been so instrumental in my growth as a photographer as well as in learning about nature and the love for it. In order to become a good scenic or wildlife photographer, one must make themselves available and learn how to fit in rather than dominate and control our surroundings.
