How
got into photography
My photography passion started in September 2002 when
I sold my first photograph at a photo exhibit in Rockport, MA. The excitement
of producing a work of art that someone wanted to add to their art collection
convinced me that I should pursue my ability to combine my artistic eye with the
current camera technology. I purchased my first digital camera that summer. The
convergence of software/computer/digital camera technology and an artistic sense
has led me to the pursuit of ever exciting landscape, wildlife and action photography.

What you like most about
doing photography
Traveling far and wide to a wildlife event and being
able to witness and photograph a scene that most people never get to see. As a
wildlife photographer I often get to experience a wild moment. Being able to capture
that moment and sharing with others is a thrill.
