Nature's my muse and it's been my passion.

What my eyes seek in these encounters is not just the beauty traditionally revered by wildlife photographers. The perfection I seek in my photographic composition is a means to show the strength and dignity of animals in nature.

Life needs a membrane to contain itself so it can replicate and mutate.

I think a photograph, of whatever it might be - a landscape, a person - requires personal involvement. That means knowing your subject, not just snapping at whats in front of you.

Biodiversity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future.

Life is a force in its own right. It is a new element. And it has altered the Earth. It covers Earth like a skin.

Tourism is important because it can create sustainable local economies. Id much rather have 1,000 tourists going up the Tambopata than 1,000 gold miners.
