During my last trip out west I was able to spend a few days in Yellowstone. This was the earliest I had ever been in the park (mid-April). In fact they were just starting to reopen the roads in the park. The park is different every time I go, but the changes from season to season…
Hey everyone I am still alive. Sorry that I have not been able to do a post for a while. But I have been travelling a lot lately, I have only been home three days in the last month. Most of that time was spent out west, where I shot Greater Sage Grouse dancing on…
When I was in Yellowstone this past fall I did make some images of creatures other than elk. In this post I would like to share some of my favorites with you. While I was out there one of the things that I really wanted to shoot was Mountain Bluebirds. At this time of year…
This fall I was asked to put on a presentation for The Photographic Society of America’s 75th annual conference. Since this year the conference was to meet in West Yellowstone at the end of September (the best time of the year to be in Yellowstone) I quickly agreed. Of course I decided that I would…
This summer I had a week to kill between two shows on the east coast. Since I had no idea where I wanted to go or what I wanted to shoot, I was very happy to get an email from Doug Rodda a great photographer that lives near New York city. Doug noticed that I…

Crane creek is an area where the warblers congregate to refuel and wait for a favorable wind to help them fly across Lake…
As promised, here are some more images from my trip to Costa Rica. I apologize if you are on dial up because this is going to be a large post. I am going to try to get this done in one more post. We saw two different types of Oropendola the Montezuma Oropendola on the…
Sorry I am so long getting these images up. I have been very busy trying to finish up the teaching modules for the upcoming seminar at The National Center for Nature Photography in May. It has been a lot of work. Way more than I ever would have thought, but once done, I plan on…
Due to the fact that I had shows scheduled on the weekends when Michigan’s upper peninsula’s fall color is at it’s peak (the Porcupines usually peak during the last week of September and the rest of the upper typically fires up around the first weekend of October) I really thought I wouldn’t be able to…
I have to say the Galapagos Islands is nature photography Nirvana. It really was unlike anything I had experienced before. I have been blessed on many occasions to have many of my subject’s accept me as part of their natural world, but that has typically come after many hours, days, weeks, months, or even years…
