Howdy, thanks for visiting!!! I'm having a lot of fun playing with my new Canon EOS 50D -- it makes me look good, well my subjects at least. I have fun trips planned to western Australia this fall and Mexico for the new year to keep this shutter hobby active.

About Me: I'm 30, a biologist/environmental professional who enjoys the outdoors and all the living things that are to be found, admired, and photographed. I have been taking pictures of critters, landscapes and places for over 15 years usually on hikes and trips, finally got into the digital relm in 2007, and look forward to visiting many new places around the world in years to come. I'm originally from Northern New York's Adirondacks, but my wife and I currnetly reside in Redding, a northern California city located in the foothills of the beautiful sounthern Cascade Mountains. This site is for sharing my adventures and view of the natural world and it's inhabitants with my friends, family and anyone else who enjoys photographs!

Feel free to comment under any photo, email me with any questions, comments, or good jokes.
