Why Photographs?

  • I use photography as a visual medium to communicate the research that I do and to show the world from my perspective.

    The natural world is a very exciting place that not everyone is able to experience firsthand. I use intimate photographs to bring this world closer to viewers to foster an appreciation for its beauty and complexity.

  • Photographing wildlife, people, and wilderness areas shows an intimate perspective that not everyone sees. I believe creating this intimacy with the natural world is important in understanding the need to protect it.

  • Photography is my passion-driven hobby and it allows me to practice being mindful of my surroundings, with the goal of just appreciating life as it happens.
