COMMENTS Through August 2005, I was a California Bay-Area resident, and am now residing in the Seattle, Washington area. I have a passion for all forms of nature and am a self-taught naturalist. Creating hard-to-find scenarios of objects in the studio setting, with a quick turnaround, is something I especially enjoy. Selected photos available via email, web, CD, DVD. All nature subjects captioned accurately with common and scientific names. Normally submissions are available next day. Reliability, maturity and integrity are what you can expect.
