      | THIS SITE IS DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER WHO ALSO HAS A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
 Photography is a moment in time. That moment can never again be captured in exactly the same way.
 
 Although there is an emphasis on Animals and Nature, my photographs are the result of the combination of a wide variety of subject matters and of various moments in time.  Many of the photos here are published work, sold images and/or award winners. These speak for themselves. I don't need to promote them.
 
 Other photos on this site are merely personal memories and not technically "great photography".  Those represent some good memories to me and mine & are not intended to be anything more. However, I hope that you enjoy viewing all.
 
 FOR MY PBASE FRIENDS:  I do vote on your images and galleries. However, I never say when I have voted. I will also vote on images of merit, even if I don't have time to leave any comment.

 The World is a BIG place.  Life is a continuing adventure.  Although I've been on every continent (including Antarctica) and have visited 96 countries, I've only experienced a fraction of this wonderful world.  Nevertheless, more will come in the future - as will more adventures in life.

 Note: Photography equipment is just an aide.  Some equipment will produce better IQ than others.  However, equipment alone does not define the merits of a photographer.  That comes from within.
