Just a wonderful personality. In the years of my life the best advice I'd give anyone is to follow your dreams and never let anyone rewrite your life for their needs.

Just acquired the leica 100~400 lens & the G9. Refreshing to see these being used by you.I have a small lake just 20 minutes from my home where I've photographed a great blue heron, green heron, otter, turtles, osprey, grackle & cormorant. I have a teaching video by Joel Sartore & appreciate his efforts at recording endangered insect & animal species. Here in Sacramento I'm a member of a small photo group - one of which sent me this link to your video interview. I'm glad she did.

Amen on starting in your own back yard. * There is a strong connection between photography and writing. I do both, as many people do.

Amazing photography started in the backyard

[KitCanada]

Thank you! A question on taking photos in the Loire Valley, and the rain. I know there’s a saying “we publish photographs, not excuses”, how did you get/take the photos you needed ?
