About The Photographer

Cropped eagan

Photography for me has always been a source of fun and relaxation. I have been fortunate over the past 10 plus years to photograph wildlife in several locations in Africa, South America, Central America, as well as North America. Along the way, I have found there is nothing more enjoyable than to share a few of these memories with others through the power of images. And to learn from other photographers on these incredible adventures. I don't care to get caught up in technical details or to radically change photos through post processing. I see too often that, without a strong element of fun and enjoyment, photography can become just another job.
