Welcome Everybody

Hello - Welcome. The purpose of this site is to document my experiences photographing wildlife and nature throughout Australia and abroad.  I hope you find the content interesting and educational, and the images  cause you to reflect on how important it is preserve natural places and their inhabitants.

All wildife has been photographed in the wild and animals are NOT captive or living in enclosures.

For me photography of the natural world is more than just pretty settings and cuddly animal photos. It's a concern for the environment and the earth all living creatures must share.

Note that images appearing in journal posts are often not optimally processed due to time constraints.

You are welcome to comment on any post.

San Francisco and Australia

DateThursday, March 12, 2009 at 6:46PM

Arriving late into San Francisco after midnight, left little time to complete anything worthwhile in the city before my flight back to Australia the following evening. The morning was spent sorting, cleaning and packing, which left the late afternoon to briefly explore one of the local parks and take in the sunset.

As it is every time I travel, the amount of equipment needed for photography far exceeds baggage allowances. This trip was “heavier” than usual due to the nature of the trip (NANPA conference, local shooting in SF, desert shooting and shooting in a very cold climates) resulting in the need for a variety of equipment and clothing to be brought from Australia. I was very surprised when Qantas staff at KSFO motioned me through without a second look at the number of bags I had (2 large checked bags, 1 checked pelican 1510), and a think tank international roll on, hand-carry bag, and photo backpack as carry on!!

I guess I was lucky - as usually I'm "stung" with hefty fees for excess baggage!
