Nature Photography

Left to my own devices, with no need to work for a living, I'd spend most of my time doing nature photography. I'd love to spend more time in the field, exploring wild places and capturing some of that wild glory on “film”. Photography doesn't end with exposures, however; I'd also like to have more time available to adjust and print the images I create.

The cold, cruel world being what it is, I spend most of my time doing more practical work, and only get a few short trips each year. Fortunately, my Mendocino Coast neighborhood provides many glorious opportunities for nature photography nearby.

Until the tail end of the Twentieth Century, I did all of my printing, both color and black & white, in my own, old fashioned, wet darkroom. Over the last fifteen of years the darkroom has gone from state of the art, to a cobwebby artifact, to the dump.

Here are some samples of my nature photography. Click small images to enlarge.
