Please Note: I am revamping my entire site over the next several weeks, so from time to time certain pages may not be accessible. I'm going to make the site cleaner and more focused on my nature and wildlife.

Gallery Information: While my forte for many years was photographing Nature and Wildlife, I also consider myself a broad-based photographer and always trying to broaden my horizons and learning curve while improving my skills. While the Gallery titles are relatively self-explanatory, here is a brief description of each:

  • Nature: As the name implies - Nature and Wildlife. From bugs and butterflies to scenic and landscapes - and everything in between.

  • People: This menu link will take you to my "strictly" people site where you will find models/talent, portraits and weddings..

  • Miscellaneous: This gallery consists of images where the predominant focus is non-Nature: Pets, Cityscapes, Americana, Transportation, Products, etc.

    • Sit back, relax, make a few clicks of your mouse and "enjoy". ~ Michael

If you use an image without the proper "written" permission you are committing a copyright violation - subject to legal action and prosecution. I put a lot of time and expense in my photography, therefore, I do not allow "free use" (there are some exceptions) and fully expect to be compensated for my work. Please email me to discuss ANY image use.
