I have been interested in wildlife and the outdoors for as long as I can remember. While TV personalities such as Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin fueled my interest in nature, I have to give most of the credit to my parents who took me hiking and canoeing as a child and always encouraged my passion for nature. They even tolerated a menagerie of interesting critters coming in and out of the house every year. Amphibians and reptiles are usually my focus, but I find all aspects of the natural world interesting. I have enjoyed wildlife photography since around the time I started high school and I plan on continuing photography for the rest of my life (maybe some day on a more professional level). I hope this site will not only allow me to share my experiences with other nature enthusiasts, but might also help spark an interest in someone who has yet to discover the natural wonders that I have grown to love and rely on.
