Birds, lichen, ice and forest edges — most of it within an afternoon's drive of Western New York, some of it much farther afield.
Nothing matches those filters yet — try clearing one.
I started taking photographs in high school, pointing the camera at anything. Over time it narrowed to wildlife, and lately to the microworld — insects, moss, the parts of plants most people walk past, mushrooms small enough that you have to know to look for them.
The camera comes with me everywhere. Most outings are a chance at a caterpillar, an interesting bark formation, a skyline. It is also how I decompress: driving the shoreline looking for eagles, finding birds after a fresh snow, watching the moods of the lake.
Most of the work is Western New York, where I live. The rest comes from years spent elsewhere — travelling through college, two years in New York City, six months in Europe, a few years in Colorado. The museum photographs are from that time, when I was trying to make museums look cool and shooting them from angles you don't usually see them from.
What I am after, mostly, is a perspective you wouldn't come across otherwise — the kind that grows an appreciation for wildlife and the places it lives.
Prints and licensing happen now and then, when someone asks — this isn't a shop, and nothing here is listed with sizes or pricing. If a particular frame is useful to you, write and say which one and what you have in mind, and we can work out whether it's something I can do.
