Welcome to my world of wildlife photography.  You can purchase prints, stay current on my expeditions, or enjoy photographs of amazing wildlife. Check back often, as this site is updated regularly.

 

I currently live in Arizona and specialize in wildlife of the American Southwest but take the opportunity to photograph animals wherever I travel.  I prefer to image wildlife in their native habitat and generally avoid images of captive animals.  

 

You'll notice tabs for landscapes and astrophotography.  These are two areas that I'm just experimenting with so be patient with me - it's a work in progress.

 

I’m using a Nikon D500 camera, and an iPhone X.  I'm equiped with the following lens:

 

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR

​

I process everything using Adobe Lightroom and rarely use Photoshop as I prefer to keep away from cloning and retouching so I can keep the images as natural as possible.
