Celebrating World Photography Day today! Although it was yesterday, but it's everydayyy for me. Photography saved my life- changed it for the better. I am pretty sure it was what helped me stop drinking alcohol, and to have less depression. It helped me see the beauty in the world, and how to be absolutely high on life, just walking around with my camera. Seeking beauty. That is photography. It's amazing.
Adding this photo to the "Ocean Series". I took it off the coast of the Farallon Islands near San Francisco a few years back.
The Ocean series of photos is honoring David Attenborough and his AMAZING documentary called OCEAN. He created this film at the age of 99 which may be his final legacy. I recommend everyone watch it. Most people do not even realize what is being done to the ocean. We must protect it and all beings in it, for the survival of our planet earth. 🌎

When we were in Iceland, I was practicing my "birds in flight" photography. Arctic terns are stunning beautiful and fun (but very difficult) to photograph. These arctic terns were flying around their nest, and they dive bomb anyone that gets close. I was able to stay enough distance away, and capture this!

The majestic wild tigers of India!

You’d think they would be scarier to see only a few feet away in a truck, but the tigers are used to seeing humans and they don’t have any interest or aggression towards us (if you give them space and always give them the right of way) …if you are in one of these safari trucks, they know we are neither predator or prey, just neutral. Tigers are still an extremely endangered species and must be protected. I am glad to see there is a mutual respect in these parts. The tiger is seen as the king of the jungle and considered sacred to the people here.

Prints are available. Contact me for more info if interested. Thanks!

Elephant seals in love | Peninsula Valdes in Argentina … one of the most amazing coastal scenes I’ve come across 💚

Hi everyone! Last chance to order some prints from my website (all prices reduced) before I make some changes coming into the new year, where I will be archiving many images and changing my system. FYI, I do photography for the love of it... for the love of the world, to try to capture some beauty, and to give back to organizations when I can. If you enjoy my work and it brings you some sort of happiness, that is all I can ask for as I am not doing it for profit.

Vibrant and dramatic photography from the heart. Travel. Adventure. Nature. Culture. Wildlife. Love.

More sweet rhinos. 🥰

🙌

I have to swoon about rhinos today!💕 I could never pick a favorite animal, but rhinos are at the very top. They are literal unicorns! They are herbivores. And they have such a sweet gentle energy. They usually don’t come this close, as they are afraid of humans. Rightfully so, as there is still a major issue with poaching them for their horns. Poachers will murder the whole rhino just to get the horn. So, in South Africa’s Kruger Park, the rangers trim their horns so that there is no reason to kill them. This is so heartbreaking. It is absurd because rhino horn is made up of the same material as fingernails. Yet, there is a myth that it is a good supplement. It’s not true! The only way we can stop the unnecessary killing of animals is to stop buying and consuming animal products.

Rhinos are incredible beings and I cried just being able to see them and for them to trust us. As soon as another truck came along, they ran away. I am glad as I want them to be safe. Sending all my love to the rhinos of the world, for them to live a long, happy and safe life in the wild! 🙏❤️🙌

I can’t imagine a world without elephants. Watching them in the wild is like witnessing truth. How the wild should be, how a species at its best would look like. They are caring, loving, and sometimes silly. They stand by each others sides. They are gentle and they mourn and they celebrate. I love elephants so much! ❤️🐘

This was an unbelievable lifetime moment! We drove around many days and saw so many amazing animals in South Africa, all the Big 5, except for a leopard. As we were driving along, I just kept chanting in my head, "leopard in a tree, leopard in a tree, leopard in a tree", just making a song of it. Not really expecting it to happen as it is rare, but hey you never know if the universe is listening. It would be a dream shot of mine, and a beautiful sight to behold, but hey even spotting one from a long distance would be incredible!

As we were parked watching some gorgeous giraffes, a truck driving by said there is a mama leopard and cub in a tree 2 km from here but is maybe gone now! We drove on, and I kept singing my song, "leopard in tree, leopard in a tree!" and WOW the most beautiful leopard was in the tree right next to the road. When we arrived, the cub was in the tree and the mother was nowhere to be found. We just waited for about 20 minutes and she came back! She hopped up the tree and posed just like I imagined in my head. :O Beautiful but wildly fierce cats.
