When did you first become<br />
interested in photography?<br />
Around 2005. My boys had started riding motocross<br />
and I would go to the tracks with my point and shoot<br />
and try to capture them riding. That wasn’t working out<br />
too well until a friend of mine let me borrow<br />
her DSLR and after that I was hooked.<br />
How did your interest turn<br />
to outdoor wildlife shooting?<br />
I have always had a love for the outdoors through<br />
hunting and fishing. At the start of my photography<br />
career, I would go out in the yard and chase birds,<br />
squirrels, frogs and anything that would stand still long<br />
enough to get pictures. And it just turned into a challenge<br />
to get a good shot of any animal that I could find.<br />
What’s your favorite season<br />
for shooting wildlife?<br />
Fall is my favorite due to the changing of the landscapes,<br />
creating natural backdrops with incredibly vibrant colors.<br />
Not to mention cooler temperatures make the animals<br />
more active and available to photograph.<br />
What’s the biggest obstacle<br />
to getting great outdoor shots?<br />
Having the perfect lighting at the instant it’s needed.<br />
