About



I strive to create images of birds and other wildlife that go beyond natural history documentation and become artistic images in their own right. I am motivated by a love of nature, a fascination with wildlife, and the never-ending challenge of finding that perfect combination of good light, cooperative subject, attractive setting, and beautiful background that allows me to create an artistically pleasing image.

My training has come from self-study and from seminars and workshops led by several of the top nature photography professionals working today, most notably Arthur Morris, Charles Glatzer, and Chris Dodds. Birds are now my primary subject, largely due to inspiration drawn from the writings and photographs of Arthur Morris. I am continually amazed at the diversity and complexity of the avian world and it is the natural grace and beauty of these wonderful creatures that makes my work possible.

I live in Bedford, Massachusetts and do most of my local photography at the Concord impoundment of the Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge and at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island. I also travel several times a year to various locations throughout the United States and Canada where birds and other wildlife abound. These trips have included visits to Florida (Sanibel Island, Little Estero Lagoon, St. Augustine Alligator Farm), Maine (Monhegan Island, Acadia National Park), Utah (Bear River National Wildlife Refuge), New Mexico (Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge), California (Morro Bay, Palo Alto Baylands), Oregon (Malheur National Wildlife Refuge), Ontario (Point Pelee and Amherst Island), Quebec (Bonaventure Island), Alberta (Jasper and Waterton Lakes National Parks), and Newfoundland (Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, Cape Bonavista).

I have had the good fortune to witness and record some wonderful moments in nature and it gives me great pleasure to be able to share these experiences through my photographs.
