Natural History Photography
I am a natural history photographer focusing on wild marine mammals, the California kelp forest, inhabitants of remote eastern Pacific islands, National Parks of the American West and, most recently, waves. I am a California photographer who considers himself fortunate to have visited many special terrestrial and underwater settings as well as to have encountered a variety of threatened and endangered animal species in the ocean.
