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.
