Zen and Offleash Photography
Excited to share that one of my images was chosen as the Bronze award winner in Attention to Detail category for BPOTY 2022! The really cool thing is that it is published in a book "Bird Photographer of the Year Collection 7".

Since early 2019 I have been sending out an email/blog every 2-4 weeks (sometimes longer depending on what else I am doing) with either stories from a recent trip, insights, images, conservation facts etc... If you are enjoying them I am sooo glad and THANK YOU! From wolves and bears and eagles, Botswana, Rwanda, Galapagos, Yellowstone and the Tetons, check out a blog or two, here are the links to them:
I want to share a really nice interview that I had with Allen Schauffler of Central Oregon Daily News. A moment in the sun! Mhiles got to sit at my feet... we were all properly socially distanced and/or masked.
I am excited to announce that I have received a really great honor!
I won the Professional category of the 2020 Audubon Photography Awards!
The scope of this pandemic is mind blowing. We need to be aware, yet step back and remember how to find our center.

Spring is coming! I could feel it and hear it yesterday out on the trail.

Happy New Year!!

Sometimes just knowing that a being, a species, is there, is still there, is very comforting... because they all have a place in this global community of earth....
Some sunsets and moments defy verbal description...
The Galapagos Islands are an utterly amazing place. It was my great fortune to travel there this past month. It is a province of Ecuador and the islands are considered a World Heritage site, and a National Park. It is a place of wonder and scientific awe.
The essence of the pursuit....

The fact that we can so nonchalantly see Bald Eagles flying over the river, soaring over the Central Oregon Lakes, nesting locally, perching in pines scanning the area for fish… is really an amazing thing.
