This is a shot of Larry Ditto (right) and me at our campsite at Red Rock Lakes N.W.R., near Lakeview, Montana, in June, 2001. We took a month-long photography trip through the west which we both really enjoyed.

I'm standing atop an 800 foot high cliff over the Caribbean on the island of Saba in the Netherlands Antilles in this shot from July, 2001. I was photographing Red-billed Tropicbirds as they investigated nesting sites in the high cliffs. The small island's airport is visible in the photo, barely 1300 feet long with a 100 foot drop-off at each end, just barely longer than an aircraft carrier. Only S.T.O.L. (short takeoff and landing) aircraft can make use this runway and from personal experience, I can testify that landing here is quite a thrill. Photo by Don McGehee.

Here is a shot from the Ross Sea in Antarctica in December, 2001. I had been photographing a group of Adelie Penguins when one of my subjects decided to walk over to check me out. Birgit Bateman snapped this shot while the penguin studied my camera equipment and me.

This is a shot of me in January, 2002 (or 2003?), at Cooper Bay, South Georgia, in the Southern Atlantic Ocean. I was leading a trip for Victor Emanuel Nature Tours at the time. South Georgia island is one of the world's most spectacular wildlife experiences.

In May, 2004, John Ingram and I were photographing dragonflies in east Texas when a Gray Petaltail decided to land on my arm. John took this shot of me and the petaltail.

The shot at left was taken in June, 2006, on the Las Colmenas Ranch in Hidalgo Co., Texas. I spent much of April through June, 2006 on this ranch participating in the VLF Photo Contest. I ended up placing 4th overall in the contest. This shot was taken by the ranch owner, Lowry McAllen. Two Harris's Hawks are visible in the background.
