I've been interested in photography since 2005 when I got my first DSLR, the Canon 300D. I mainly photograph wildlife. I've recently bought a Canon 30D and I use a Sigma 50-500mm lens.

I like to travel and I've fallen in love with Yellowstone. I try to visit the park in the spring and fall. When I'm not in da Stone I get my daily Yellowstone fix on the Yellowstone.net forum: www.yellowstone.net/forums/

I love animals, particularly bears and pandas!
