It's just me - I'm an amatuer photographer with some luck (people also say some skill too - who am I to argue) I enjoy shooting nature and wildlife and hanging out at Kensington Metropark. I have since met a great bunch of guys out there who I enjoy shooting with (or I should say they let me at least stand there and look important hehe) I've come to love birding, and I've always loved raptors. I don't expect to get published, or even paid for what I do - I do this for the sheer enjoyment I get of being out in Nature. I do plan to eventually put together a book (via Blurb) of my work but I'm doing that for my family. I'm also not here for the 'love fest' that is Flickr - so don't take it personal if I don't join your group.

Updated for 2021, I have upgraded to a new D500 but still shoot with a Nikon 300mm F/4 prime lens and I finally got my 1.4x teleconverter! I also will shoot with my Nikon 17-55 2.8 or a Nikon 50mm F/1.8 prime sometimes. Everything is handheld in Manual mode with minor post production in Photoshop CS5 and maybe crops for composure.
