Friend of Birds - The Work

Hummingbird at Trumpet Vine     2008

Eastern Kingbird Swallows Grasshopper   2008

As a Nature & Wildlife Photographer, I'm compelled to focus upon capturing images exhibiting the pure, innocent and dynamic immediacy of the native flora and fauna encountered in Michigan while living out their brief yet beautiful life-cycles.

As a Christian, I'm moved to reciprocate to the world in regards to utilizing the talents which I possess by selling, donating and sharing my work to make a living, fundraise for charity, and educate.

 This visionary, iconic work- collectively entitled Animal Portraits- hopefully reveals many facets of the powerful, miraculous, intricate and perfect Creation of God as I observe it through my camera lens.

As my lifework progresses, I want to reach an appreciative audience with which to share these intimate and often-unseen moments that occur parallel to us in the world of wildlife.

Likewise, I would like to facilitate connecting people with the projects that help steward our seemingly seperate yet intrinsically connected worlds. There are many good causes in the Links section.

We are not separate from nature, but "a little lower than the angels and a little higher than the beasts."
