Water is the key to life, but in frozen form, it is a latent force. And when it vanishes, Earth becomes Mars.

It's up to us as photographers to give voice to the natural world.

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

A lion is not a lion is not a lion. As individuals, as mates, as members of a society, they're all very different.

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.

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.
