The natural world and its creatures are my passion. I try to shoot a variety of subjects in the natural world, but my real joy comes from animals, especially animals that are just generally under-appreciated such as snakes. To me there is no experience quite like seeing the heart and personality of a wild animal and capturing that with my camera. Every animal has a story to tell, and I do my best to give them a voice.
100% of the profits from sales of my images are donated to animal charity groups, including the following:
Artwork and t-shirts that support the Big Cat Rescue
Artwork that supports the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Artwork and t-shirts that support Steve Irwin’s Wildlife Warriors
Artwork and t-shirts that support the Gorilla Haven
Artwork and t-shirts that support the Caribbean Conservation Corporation
Artwork and t-shirts that support the American Bird Conservancy.

The Greatest Gift
It was widely known amongst the elephants that all chief storytellers must also have a great love, for without a great love the gifts of words and memory fade.
