Welcome!

Based in Olympia, Washington, I am a conservation ecologist who works to classify, inventory, and set conservation priorities for Washington's ecological systems and plant communities. This work, as well my travels on the weekends, brings me to some amazing places as well as to landscapes where biodiversity has been lost or is threatened by excessive human-induced impacts.

The images I share here are my interpretations of some precious moments that I hope will inspire others to appreciate our natural heritage. I hope you enjoy them.

Please visit my website where many of the photos seen here can be purchased: www.josephrocchiophotography.com

Also visit my Facebook page.

For non-profit causes, I may be willing to lend use of my photos for minimal or no charge...please send me an email request.

Thanks so much for stopping by and many thanks to those who have left comments--I really appreciate the feedback!

Joe
