The great egret is a very graceful bird. Part of its beauty is its stillness as it stands on a shoreline or on a branch of a fallen tree. The contrast of the orange beak, green face and yellow eyes against pure white feathers is stunning. This particular bird standing on the edge of the Fox River in northern Illinois kept an eye on my as I very slowly approached it allowing to me to capture this image.

The origin of my name means watchful or observant. I always thought that was appropriate for someone who likes to make images from what he sees. I started with photography when I was about 11 years old after receiving a hand-me-down Brownie box camera. My approach toward photography is to stop and smell the roses. It is a simplistic adage, but rings true to how I create images. I slow down and stop to see beauty in everyday objects and the natural world, and use the magic of photography to share my vision with others. While I don't expect others to necessarily see the same thing that I saw while making my photographs, my goal is that my images will evoke a special feeling, mood, or emotion for the viewer. Thank you for looking at my work....
