Dear Guest,
While photographing nature over the last fifty years, I have seen the world change. Some photographic opportunities that were common when I began have become rare or nonexistent. All have diminished. Species that were rare are now very close to extinction. The world of nature has lost health and diversity at an ever accelerating pace. All of us are the reason, and a child could predict the outcome. These changes drove me to see and photograph as much as I can while it was still possible. I share a few of those photographs on this website.
Because the collection is organized by subject, photographs captured on film—dating back to the early 1980s—are displayed alongside contemporary digital images. While modern digital cameras offer higher image quality, film allowed me to capture subjects and circumstances that have become nearly impossible to find. I feel incredibly fortunate not only to have these film records, but to have lived the experiences themselves. For clarity, images originally captured on film are marked with a "Film" designation in their captions.
The photographs come from Australia, Malaysia, and North America. They are organized into five small galleries: Terrain, Water, Trees, Mammals, Birds, and lastly B&W for monochrome images of varied formats and subjects. To view details, all images are expandable to a maximal size appropriate for the device in use.
Most photographs here are heavily curated from my other website dmcPhoto.com, while a few are displayed only here. All seen here have been reprocessed to the best of my ability, with less compression and higher resolution.
I am a member of Nature First, and adhere to their principles for responsible nature photography. If you enjoy natural environments, I hope you will too.
PS: All of the galleries are still evolving, so check back for updates.
