Most of my images are of wildlife and nature. However, I also like to take photos of architecture, patterns, and, occasionally, people. Recently, I have begun creating digital art using my own photos as a starting point. If you want to explore beyond this page and my Photostream, I suggest you check out my albums: www.flickr.com/photos/kkr_images/albums.

I love these quotes about photography:

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. Brooks Atkinson

I’ll never stop relearning the same lesson. A photograph doesn’t depict a thing; rather, it depicts light bouncing off of a thing. To absorb this lesson, it’s just a matter of quieting oneself and paying attention. Alec Soth

One of the things I like best about nature photography is that it pushes me to learn about the plants and animals I see. The photographs often reveal details of feathers, fur, and texture that I miss when just watching. This quote fits my feeling about how photography has expanded my worldview:

“The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.” Ralph W. Sockman

I am particularly interested in conservation. If you work in conservation and wish to use one of my images, please let me know. With written permission, I am happy to share images without charge. You can contact me at kkr_images@icloud.com
