I never thought I could live my dream. I never thought I could actually be considered a nature photographer. When I was in college I was envious of the newspaper photographers who could make a living with photography. For me, life got in the way a little...family and my real career and earning a paycheck took precedence. I thought I had it all - a great job and money, a devoted husband (who still shares our adventures with me), kids, house and a dog. But through 1,000s of nature photos taken over the last three plus years and over 20 years of understanding photography, I have learned that the struggles and what I have been through are a direct correlation to nature's toughness, resilience, and cyclical nature.
