Talking about pictures is often a funny thing. It’s easy to take a simple question and way overthink it. People sometimes ask me, how long did it take to get that shot? On the one hand, it’s pretty simple stuff. Something interesting happens and you push the damn button and hope for the best. The […]
Published Work – Wild Planet Photo Magazine
Keith Wilson, editor at Wild Planet Photo Magazine, showed considerable patience and forbearance waiting for me to come up with a list of seven “Wild Wonders” of the natural world.

Published Work – Ranger Rick Magazine
My grandmother, God rest her soul, took an interest in my family’s education. I think she feared, not without reason, that growing up in the rural Pennsylvania countryside might leave us with certain disadvantages; social, educational, cultural. Each year she bought the family a subscriptions to a selection of kids’ magazines for the four […]

The BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards ceremony, held under an enormous dinosaur skeleton in London’s Museum of Natural […]
