Wild life in the concrete jungle

From the vast wilderness of the Pacific Northwest to the density of New York City, my environment has changed, but my connection to nature hasn't.  After moving to the city twenty years ago, I traded hunting and fishing gear for a camera lens.  

Photography became a reason to slow down, a practice born from strolling through Central Park and genuine curiosity about urban wildlife.  My images are the result of patience rather than pursuit, focusing on the quiet beauty of being present.
