Although I've been a snap-shooter since receiving a Brownie camera on my 10th or 11th birthday, today I’m an octogenarian who turned COVID-induced ennui into a full-time photography obsession. Armed with a homemade backyard bird perch, a stack of used books, endless YouTube deep dives, and video classes from The Great Courses, I’ve become a self-taught wildlife hunter—through the lens. My gallery is approaching 6.5 million views, proving that age is just a number and curiosity has no expiration date.
