Wildlife Photography Prints

Standing in an Alaskan river while thousand-pound grizzlies fish around you does a lot to clarify what you're doing out there. Wildlife is the least cooperative subject I photograph and the one I keep going back to. Every encounter asks something different, and you don't get to find out what until it's already happening.

The range is the fun of it: a bison bull looking for love, a mountain goat defying gravity, and mustangs in the foothills that give you a few heartbeats to get it right. Each image is available as a limited edition fine art print.
