These deer were very surprised to see me walking down the trail toward them.  This was shot in Colusa Wildlife Refuge, February 2023.

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.

This duck is called a Shoveler.  The brown one is a female, the brightly colored ones are males. 

​This type of duck is a Pintail.  The female is the brown duck and the brightly colored ducks are the males.  In birds this type of coloring is usual.
