What my eyes seek in these encounters is not just the beauty traditionally revered by wildlife photographers. The perfection I seek in my photographic composition is a means to show the strength and dignity of animals in nature. - Frans Lanting
Every picture is worth a thousand words. I like to think my photographs tell a compelling story about the subject giving a broader context of the environment, behavior, mood, or just the magic of the moment I experienced in the field. I hope you enjoy the stories and my thoughts on why I like these photographs below.
