Its hard to believe that I started my post Bucknell life with little true appreciation for what my friend calls our wild heritage. Post college life quickly moves from building a career to raising children. Then the kids grow and find outlets of their own that usually don’t include their dad! As personal time becomes more abundant, I am finding myself hiking and traveling to remote places to experience some of the solitary beauty our planet has to offer.

We are so blessed to be able to share a planet with other creatures. One of the reasons I spend so much of my free time photographing wildlife is I feel in some way I am speaking on behalf of the animals. I strive to make better images so I can speak on their behalf with more emotion and impact. Its strange how life has a way of changing. 24 years ago I only spoke on behalf of capitalism. Now I am a capitalist that is trying to speak on behalf of nature and wildlife.
