Artist Statement
When photographing birds, whether tracking a majestic raptor's soaring glide, or just waiting for a bird - any bird - to show up, the world feels right. In spite of our own species' selfish and reckless activities, for now at least, as long as birds are flying, the planet still seems functional. And when I capture the light reflected off a creature not of man's design, it appears as if there may be some time left before nature succumbs to our arrogance.
