Profile Information

Where I Live:
Corrales Heights, Rio Rancho
About Me:
i am the self appointed expert on the state bird! i have kept a journal on the pair that live in my yard for the last 2 1/2 years (they have claimed our land since before we lived here) and i have taken over 14,000 images of the birds. the photos you see are real, not photo shopped. he's "big guy" the senior male bird on the property.

People have asked me about my motivation for choosing this subject and making the dedication to study a bird for the last 2 1/2 years. Losing a parent caused me to look at my mortality differently and decide what contribution i could make in life.

As my dear friend Anna says about The Roadrunner Project, "you didn't choose the birds, the birds chose you to tell their story".

Education is a part of this project and I have made myself available to schools, librarys and any area where there are people who want to learn more about this wonderful and stately bird of ours.

i feel blessed to live in New Mexico and the roadrunners are part of my connection to the land.

Hey! I would love to but I have my lesson on Saturday afternoon's and I help out a little at the barn afterward. Darn, I'll let you know if something changes.

I looked at your portfolio. You're selling prints for 300 Bucks :-O I wanna hang out with you and learn from a master!

I'm glad to share them and now I have a reason to watch for more. I'll send you any I take (really though, I'll send you a link to the album they're in and you can download the full size from there).

Did you get any additional answers on where to get 8x10 prints? My printer is on the blink and I wanted to get some gallery-quality but not too expensive matte prints.

I have been planning to do a yoga and photography workshop. my wife is a yoga instructor and I have found that yoga helps with your artistic vision.

The details will be coming. I am planning for the spring, since it is SNOWING ALREADY!

For prints I like to use Kirts Camera Corral.

They are great people and great quality.

Howdy- thanks for stopping by and commenting. Watch the debate tonight? Despite the economy, I am grateful that a majority of the public see the benefit and maybe even the great investment, both money wise but mainly-mentally healthy art makes us feel! I have always said art is a great investment, maybe now more than ever!
