WORLD WILDLIFE

BEAUTY & INNOCENCE


Capturing a wild animal on film at the defining moment is one of the greatest challenges to a wildlife photographer.

Most of these images were shot in the wild with a 35mm Nikon N90S camera. I nearly stepped on the white-tailed fawn. With no land predators, adult penguins in Antarctic waddled within ten feet of me.

Maybe because they cannot speak a human tongue or save themselves from habitat destruction and other unnatural activities, I hold a rare place in my heart for wild creatures.

This global gallery will continually grow. I look forward to any feedback.
