About Me
A portion of all sales at my site are donated to wildlife and animal rescue groups. Proceeds currently benefit Mickacoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue and Lindsay Wildlife Hospital.
I love photographing wild things . . . and urban things . . . the visions and experiences that paint my world. I’m a freelance writer and also a researcher for a NY Times bestselling author. My work as a volunteer wildlife rehabilitator on the side fuels my passion for nature photography, and my lifelong love for animals forms my creative narrative.
I’ve never outgrown my geekiness about nature, even as I juggle my love for city, cinema and coffee houses. I saw my first Aurora Borealis from the cockpit of a 747 when I was five, and that set me up to expect outrageous phenomena from the sky and sand. Phenomena like thousands of tundra swans and snow geese painting an alabaster canopy overhead . . . or a giant herd of elk grazing and bugling under Colorado snow drops . . . or the pulse of an orca pod stirring the waters beneath.
My Method
My intent is to freeze a moment, a scene, an inspiration or an emotion in such a way that you might see what I saw in that blip of time and space. In the process, I hope to impart the animal's individuality and personality, while also stressing the importance of preserving and conserving a wild world where these animals can thrive.
Wildlife Photography Ethics
The well-being of my subjects is more important to me than getting the shot. I do my best not to compromise the safety or security of the wild animals I photograph. That principle guides my choices in the field, and you can read a more detailed explanation of my wildlife ethics at my blog.
My images are shot in wild settings with an equivalent 600mm lens (four-thirds system). I do not bait or otherwise disturb the animals' natural behavior, but I do occasionally take photos near existing bird feeders.
I generally don't photograph in captive settings, but if I have the opportunity to shoot some images at a sanctuary or other wildlife rehabilitation facility, I'll indicate this in the photo description. I will only photograph in captive settings where, to the best of my knowledge, the animals are treated with the same humane ethics to which I subscribe.
I do not knowingly patronize facilities that sell animals to game farms, hunting establishments, or engage in any other dubious wildlife practices.
My Blogs
I post randomly to my nature and photo blog, The Free Quark.
