I have been interested in wildlife since I was a teenager. I have been photographing wildlife, mostly birds and some insects off and on ever since. The advent of digital photography created many more opportunities. I'd like to develope the creative side of photography rather than just 'hunting with a camera'. I really value Flickr for the opportunity to share my photos and see so many other photos. I am inspired by photos that show some of the beauty of the world and also the range of creativity possible with the digital medium.
