The Coyote. Get yours at bighugelabs.com

 

I'm obsessed with digital photography. I developed a steadily progressive addiction in 2001 when my boyfriend upgraded to a better camera and gave me his ancient, one-megapixel, Epson PhotoPC 600. I was instantly hooked.

 

Since then, we've both upgraded our cameras several times, with me far outpacing him, thus leaving him in the proverbial digital dust.

 

I now own my second digital SLR -- a lovely Canon EOS 30D -- and eight incredible lenses. Every morning, I wake up totally stoked about the photographic possibilities that lie ahead.

 

This is a form of bliss that I never expected to experience. I offer up a sincere and reverent thanks to the almighty gods of technology.

 

But, I am so not a professional. I'm just your average shutter bug who tends to see things a little differently than most folks. I notice beauty and form in pretty much everything. Even when I'm not holding my camera, I feel as if I'm looking at the world through its lens. What a cool perspective.

 

I'm truly honored to have been the recipient of the 2005 Flickys Award for Excellence in Macro Photography. Thanks, everyone!

Testimonials

She demonstrates the difference between mere ability and real talent. A rock-steady hand, with a great eye for composition and color. I never tire from looking at The Coyote's photostream, and always find something to marvel at and learn from. Her macro shots are simply breath-taking.

Coyote's macros of insects are nothing short of amazing. She makes macro photography seem easy. Looking at her photos you'd think that insects just sit there, patiently waiting for you to take the shot. Her talent continues to impress me day after day. I only wish I had one tenth the ability that she so wonderfully displays. Thank you Coyote for sharing your wonderful photos.
