About me

Photo: Anais Afrika

I’ve been photographing our splendid world for five decades and am still enthralled by the beauty, diversity, and intelligence of even the most minute creatures. An erstwhile wildlife biologist, I try not to disturb the animals and habitats I’m photographing but rather to capture natural behaviors in extraordinary settings.

After a full career communicating about medical and financial science, I am delighted to focus once again on bringing natural science alive through dramatic images and amazing creatures from far-flung locations.

In addition to the natural world, I have always been fascinated by the splendid world within each of us, the private world organized and colored by our innate being and the experiences we’ve had. I explore this interest in part through other art forms, such as abstract painting—where a colorful visual gesture can elicit a deep and intriguing psychological resonance.
