2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Grizzly bear/ Wolf, Yellowstone National Park, USA
Disagreement Over Supper

Species: Grizzly bear/ Wolf | Location: Yellowstone National Park, USA

This young Grizzly Bear had worked all day to get across the river to this carcass that the Wapiti pack had been working on all day and I just happened to come back into the area a dusk to head back into town. The timing was a blessing and I witnessed something that I may never see again. This Grizzly and Wolf my understanding (755) went back and forth in a chase over what was left of dinner. The tow chased each other back and forth and sized each other up, this was a capture and part of that inner action. They eventually settled down for a bit and shared the meal. The light was dim and I felt very lucky to spend sometime with these amazing creatures.

About The Photographer

Cropped screen shot 2016 06 13 at 5.00.01 pm

I was blessed to come into the world of photography by accident and have loved it ever since. I grew up on a state park and had a trained eye for animals at a very early age. I just thought everyone saw what I did. I have gotten more and more into this joy of the camera world and recently I have realized I was given a gift to see and notice things that I could share through a lens. I took one professional class for a week in Yellowstone and I was hooked and that was the extent of my formal training. I jokingly call myself the accidental photographer and have slowly realized that the late hours of playing with learning how to edit and playing with gear has turned into something that may one day be more then just a pleasure. I love that each one of us can see the world at the right place and time and it will never be just that same way again. The moment we capture is just that, a moment in time and how lucky we are to do so.
