I’d Like To Hear From You
It has been three long years deciding whether or not to create this website, publicize these insect photographs and make them available to the public as finely-crafted art prints. Growing appreciation and interest towards the photographs and my treatment of entomological subject matter was the motivation to move forward. Fundamentally, this project began with an honest and pure fascination for these creatures and a burgeoning personal collection of specimens. Photography came later.
I am hopeful that entomologists, forensic entomologists, biologists, zoologists, scientists and general enthusiasts of insects will find pleasure in these photographs. My intent is to add new photographs every month and to expand the collection of butterflies — starting with the Bird Wings and progressing to the moths. Over time, a series of three photographs will be taken of each family of insect and, with your input, additional specimens will be photographed.
The long term goal is to create a traveling show to raise awareness of the natural world and the special place the world of insects inhabit alongside humans.
I am approaching this work as a creative photographer, not a scientist. Any input, history, references to mythology and personal stories you may have are encouraged (just add them in the comments) to make this blog more than a portal for my photography.
I hope you enjoy the photographs and enjoy my point of view !
