Rekindling America’s Appreciation of Photography

The Catch

Going to Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska was a dream come true. Capturing the photo that I always hoped to capture was beyond thrilling. This is a Brown Bear named Grazer. She had 2 cubs with her and watching her catch salmon after salmon after salmon and taking them to her cubs as they enjoyed family dinner was an experience I will cherish forever.

I am a photography enthusiast who has found that since retiring, having more time to be behind my camera has been a great joy. I love photographing all types of wildlife with a special interest in birds, landscapes and night photography.
