A life long nature lover, I began to explore photography after purchasing my first digital camera in 2002. My site features wildlife and nature photography though I also greatly enjoy photographing people and family. I am fortunate to live in California and travel there and throughout the U.S. capturing a breathtaking abundance of diverse habitats and wildlife. I strongly believe that spending more time in nature can significantly help us as individuals and as a society. I retired from a career as a physician anesthesiologist in December 2021.
