A bucket-list trip to Alaska in 2023, finally ticked all the boxes of Alaskan Grizzly Bear Photography for Mike - Wow !
Dynamic Kingfisher action images have been a rather obsessive focus over the past ten years or so.

of light from a very young age.  Mike’s biggest critic and most avid supporter is his wife Kimberly, who has a high appreciation for beauty
and understands and admires his passion and dedication to “capture the moment.”
