.Background:
I began birding at the age of 12 in 1995, and started photographing birds a couple years later. In 2004 I purchased a digital SLR and began to spend serious time photographing birds. While in college I worked as a Field Biologist for the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, conducting breeding bird surveys in Wyoming. Currently I reside in Indianapolis, Indiana working as a graphic/web designer. I have created several websites to host my photographs, and to help promote
birding in Utah.

I believe that bird photography is a great way to further my hobby of birding. I have even gone as far to call it "Birdtography". To me birdtography is more than just taking pictures of birds. It is the
actual process from beginning to end. It starts before I ever pick up the camera and start taking pictures. Birdtography encompasses the entire effort involved in capturing a picture of a bird, or in that case anything wild. Despite the fact that I focus on birds, I also photograph other wild animals, plants, flowers, scenery, insects, amphibians, and a variety of other things.
