My primary passion is macro photography. Most of the macros of insects, flowers and other life forms were taken in the field with a macro bellows. For this reason, some of the photos may have inaccurate EXIF Data listed.

Each summer, I lead groups of photographers and naturalists on material-gathering forays to chronicle and celebrate the local fauna. Visit my Maryland Caterpillar Safari Group to see some great photos from our outings.

Be sure to check out THE BOOK OF CATERPILLARS from Ivy Press....a comprehensive anthology featuring caterpillar species from around the world. Many of my photos and species accounts were featured in this book.

I'm proud to announce the release of my latest book CONFESSIONS OF A FREE STATE ANGLER. This autobiographical account of my former existence chronicles the life of a hard-core fisherman...as told through a series of angling adventures spanning over four decades. Many of my favorite fishing stories have been re-told in this book.
