In my endeavor to photograph wildlife, it has been critical to find animals to photograph. Basic enough, right? Where can you reliably find animals to photograph without having to drive around looking for them or going to a zoo (defies the very definition of ‘wild’ life)? Part of it, is…

‘Tis the season. I love fall colors, but I do confess to struggling to capture her true essence. I get in front of all this colorful beauty and get overwhelmed and struggle to put it in proper photographic perspective. Fall colors can be so cluttered with the fallen trees and…

Recently, I was faced with the challenge of choosing a photo for a house-warming gift for a friend. The decision was discerning as I had to contemplate the best of my photos, and what makes a wall-worthy photograph. I could choose a dozen photos, ask a dozen people which is…

Believe it or not, BIF, is actually a category in Photography. It is reputed to be a challenging and difficult field. Following our trip to Whitewater Draw for the sand hill crane migration, I decide to make it an objective to enhance my skills. The bigger the bird the easier…

Living in Northern Arizona, Southeastern Arizona is a bit of a trek for us. This area is home to a lot of undiscovered (by us) territory to explore, and worth spending some time to get to know better. We started our trip in Douglas, just North of the Mexican border,…
