Nature/Wildlife, Landscape photography based in Jamestown, NY.

 

I am a retired biology teacher from Jamestown NY. I reside there with my wife, Sonja.

I grew up exploring the hills of Pennsylvania. My father was employed outdoors in the oil fields and as a child, I took advantage of every opportunity to go with him to work and spend time in the woods. It was during those years that I developed a great appreciation of nature.

I am captivated by wildlife behavior and continue to learn each time I am in the field with my camera. I also enjoy traveling and photographing God's beautiful landscapes, whenever there is an opportunity. Sonja also enjoys traveling and occasionally assists me on photography trips.

I have been interested in nature photography for much of my adult life, but have pursued it with a passion in recent years.  Equipment consists of Canon digital SLR cameras and Canon lenses. Several of my photographs have been published in magazines and calendars.

Enjoy the photos and please take time to sign my guestbook. Have a great day!
