Wildlife photography has to be just about the coolest gig. Too bad I don’t have the money to spring for a safari. Let me know if you need any pictures from the wilds of Midwestern U.S. I can take a rockin’ picture of urban deer.

I am an artist, and occasionally need photographs for art reference, and am interested in a few excellent photographs at regular intervals of select subjects from which I may work. Several of you are familiar names from my time at NWF. It will be delightful to speak with you again. Please do write or call.
