I am just a guy living at the beach!
I love nature and wildlife. I love all animals and I love to photograph them. I am an easy going guy who loves photography.
I like to photograph nature in the wild. I am primarily a wildlife photographer. I do like to try other things though and I will try to experiment with photography just to see what I can learn. I am eager to learn from you so I can be a better photographer.
I like to spend most of my free time driving around looking for birds. Sometimes, I know where I am going, sometimes I don't. I go to different places around town and the state to find different birds that I have never seen but to also see places that I have never seen.
I have been fortunate to meet many people from flickr and everyone has been very nice and a pleasure to meet.

A great guy and a great photographer.. I remember when I first came to flickr, one of the first galleries that I saw was Mr. Skelton's.. I was shocked by the quality and the creativity of the images and I knew that he was an amateur... I thought that he was a full time pro!!!. But it was the photo of the ferris wheel and his nighttime photos when I thought to myself: I WANT TO DO THAT. From that moment on I took photography as something a little bit more serious, trying to be more creative, looking for new effects... I believe that when I saw Michaels gallery, all I needed was a little bit of a push forward, a little bit of inspiration to go further with my photography hobby, and I got it thanks to his art. So thanks Mr. Skelton!!!!...

Mike is an awesome photographer. Any number of his photos are worthy of the front cover of a wildlife magazine. He seems to have a special connection to the subjects he photographs and his love for nature shines through in all of his work. One of the characteristics that sets Mike in an elite group is that he is so humble as far as his photos are concerned. He doesn't get involved in the drama or ego that we sometimes see around here. He let's his work speak for him, and it speaks loud and clear! His photostream is a joy to view. As a contact, no one could have better. Mike is a wonderful flickr friend. He is always willing to share his knowledge and advice and give honest feedback. I am so grateful for Mike! If you haven't looked at his photostream, please take the time to do so. It will be a tour of nature at its finest from his amazing sunsets to the detailed close-up wildlife some of us will only get to see through Mike's "eyes".
