My New Book

Natural Design Book

NATURAL DESIGN:
Image Design for Nature Photographers

NATURAL DESIGN is unique among all nature photography books because of the "Composition Maps."

These are photographs that have been marked-up in Photoshop to illustrate the features of the design. Photographer's love them and because they are visual illustrations and not verbal explanations, the concepts they illustrate are learned and comprehended immediately.

They've helped hundreds have a better understanding of the basics of image design, how they apply to nature photography and how we can use them to make unique and memorable photographs.

Check them out!

FAVORITE MOMENTS

When I was 17 I was driving home to North Fork after a big day in the "big town" of Fresno. The road I was on winds through the rolling foothills of the Sierra until it reaches the gates of Yosemite and beyond.

In an isolated area under an enormous oak tree was a mare and her colt. I pulled over to watch them as they played. She 'preened' and cleaned her colt and the cold fed, bit, and rubbed against its mother. Finally they trotted off together in search of something interesting, or possibly a snack.

The purity of the moment; of the animals and their natural affection for one another was like a magnet for me and I stayed there for a long time. It was one of those pure and natural moments of beauty and love that you usually only see in movies.
