Statement  The images I make represent for me not just a subject but a personal migration. I began the transition from engineer and technical/wedding photographer to wildlife photographer by documenting the life cycle of a nesting pair of red-tailed hawks in San Diego. When I began this journey, I could not imagine the profound impact it would have on my spirit. I discovered quickly that to make good images I would need to do more than find birds and photograph them – I would have to immerse myself in their environment. I would have to learn their behavior, their calls, and the subtle signals to which they respond. I would also have to learn patience and stillness, and how to be governed not by the ticking of a clock but rather by the slower pace of the seasons. My personal migration, like those of the birds whose photographs are here before you, is cyclic and will always be incomplete. |
