Wildlife

Growing up hunting, camping and boating started me off early with an appreciation for the outdoors, but wildlife photography has given me the opportunity to observe things I wouldn't have had the chance to otherwise. And other than spending time with my wife and daughter whom I owe a great deal for their love and support, I am happier while out watching wildlife going about their daily lives than any other place I can think of. Here is a glimpse of the last 15 years...

Stu, I had no idea you were this talented. Your wildlife shots are some of the best I've ever seen. I'm glad I ran into you at the store yesterday and we got a chance to chat - it reinforced the notion of why I liked you in the first place.
