The osprey shot is incredible! Thanks for giving us a behind the scenes of how photographing wildlife works. The unpredictability of it all makes sense and creates fun, surprise and, of course, frustration, part of any creative process.

This was a fun read!

Thank you Manuela, that's very kind of you. And yes, it's a way different experience than studio work, environmental portraiture, or shooting contemplative landscape imagery. I like all of them actually. Luckily I don't have to choose just one!

Yep, you gotta take the swings.

I love the eagle coming in from the left.
