Introduction
I love the way the camera sees the world, it can be so unique, so different than what is actually there when I take the photograph. My goal is to take photographs that show the world the way I see it, using the unique photographic abilities that I have, the technical abilities of my camera, and my digital darkroom skills to output the best photograph "equivalent" that I can; a photograph that is wholly representative of my vision in photography and art. I am not a documentarian or a photo journalist, I edit, delete, and change as needed. My goal is photographic art and there is no "right" or "wrong" involved in that.
As spring begins birds from all over begin to migrate north to various places. California is under the Pacific Flyway and thousands of birds pass through the Central Valley twice a year for migration. These birds need to land to rest and eat and there is a system set up all across the valley where these birds can stop to do just that. Corn is planed in various fields and then cut for them to eat. Water is channeled to ponds and ditches so they can rest in safety. Each year I try to get to several wildlife preserves in the Central Valley. All of the images below were taken this year in January and February at either Colusa WLR, Gary Lodge WLR, Or Merced WLR.
