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.
In August I visited an island called IIe aux Perroquest (Island of the Parakeets) in the Mingan Archipelago National Park Reserve in Quebec, Canada, to photograph Puffins. The small island was beautiful and filled with Puffins and a few other birds (Razorbills, shore birds, sparrows, gulls, and Ravens) and I stayed on the island in a quaint little bungalow. The setting was lovely and included an old lighthouse. I stayed in a three-bedroom bungalow with two other photographers, who turned out to be good roomies, and the rest of the group, three more photographs, the guide, and the staff, stayed in another bungalow, called the main bungalow. All meals were served in the main bungalow. The stay was very pleasant, the food good, and the Puffins cooperative for the most part. You can see more Puffin photos on my wildlife website, there is a link below.
