For as long as I can remember, I have been richly blessed
with the presence of animals in my life. In fact, my dearest
friends might agree that I'd be empty inside without them. There
is something divine in the way they communicate and bond with us;
and that is just the essence I strive to capture in every shot.
It brings me great joy to witness an animal's true spirit, and to
freeze those moments that speak to us forever.
I am a self-taught photographer,
with pets and nature being my favorite subjects. My "camera
eye" for dogs and cats began when I met Echo (right), my Akita/
Shepherd beauty (and ultimately my very best model), in 1995.
She was born with a natural love for the camera, and continues to
pose for me each time I grab it. Echo's half-brother, Wile E.
(middle, Akita/ Husky), came along two years later, and we began the
joys of puppyhood all over again. It is the way they look at
me through the lens that eventually inspired me to take pictures of
all the furry friends I meet...and I doubt I'll ever stop.
