About a year ago, Kaleb White and I were in Uganda, #onassignment for the @timtebowfoundation, documenting a Christian home for children with special needs. These kids lived in the local community and attended class at the school. We were struck by their joy, curiosity and obvious love for each other. We could learn a great deal from these kids. I can't wait to get back on a plane, get away from the stress and nonsense of this year, document more stories like this ... and be reminded of the beauty and strength of being humble, grateful and happy. - Matthew 18:1-3 #portrait #africa #photographer #photography #documentary #humanitarianphotography #travel #traveltheworld #travelgram #portraits #african_portraits https://www.instagram.com/p/CDTqljtJRBn/?igshid=7ya9xwdvndm3

I've been trying to find a good buck or bull to photograph, but the search has been tough. At least the quail have cooperated. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #montana #406 #photographer #wildlifephotographer #bird #quail #upland #uplandbird #birdphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRQWrAp8HK/?igshid=6bomwevb2gb2

Thought I'd take a minute and share a really cool #scrapbook layout that my wife @faithandfurbabies made with one of our #cheetah pics from our Kenya safari back in March. Though she's very humble, Holly has had several of her layouts published in scrapbook magazines and books ... and she regularly makes my pics look good with her original designs. Can't wait until we can get back to Africa and get back to work photographing God's creation in one of our favorite places. #africa #safari #kenya #art #layout #scrapbookart #scrapbooker #scrapbooking #safari#africaart #wildlife #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlifephoto #handmade #handmadeart #scrapbooklayout https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjR1dGp9Mw/?igshid=mr9a5y5tk8ba

Thanks very much to @saaldigital_corp for the fantastic Professional Line Photobook. The printing & paper quality are so good, the design & ordering process was simple and streamlined ... the book perfectly represents a collection of some of my favorite memories from recent safaris. Expectations exceeded. If you're looking to design a book of your own, I highly recommend Saal. And their frequent promotions & discounts are an added bonus. I'll be designing a North American wildlife book, and offering it for sale. More on that soon. #saaldigital #wildlife #photobook #portfolio #photographer #africa #safari #blackandwhite #bnw #book #nature #wildlifephotographer #naturephotography #safariphotography #africanprint #africanimals https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWP-aVJogY/?igshid=1dplog67lchgn

For nearly two decades, I've been blessed to point my camera at incredible wildlife. And I've been very fortunate to see my images end up in lots of places, but I've never pursued fine art prints ... until now. I'm excited to offer a selection of North American and African wildlife prints - both color and black & white - in a variety of sizes, on a variety of materials, with matting and framing options to suit any decor. For a limited time, I'm offering open editions on all images, and a discount of 20% on orders over $100.00 with coupon code HAF20. The print store link is in my bio. I'd be grateful if you'd take a look, and if you like what you see, please spread the word. It'd be honored to have one of my favorite images grace the walls of your home, office, business, lodge or cabin. Thanks. #fineart #art #nature #fineartphotography #wildlife #wildlifephoto #wildlifephotography #prints #printsforsale #gallery #printshop #naturephotos #naturephotography #photographer #cabindecor #decor #lodgedecor #design #interiordesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3eUSXJZTP/?igshid=1f4ouofq6g5bt

Big thanks to my friends @realtreeoutdoors & Stephanie Mallory for giving me a chance to discuss life behind the lens. I'm in great company here with @jovtes, @russellgraves & @huntphotos. If you think I've shot some decent turkey pics, be sure to follow @jovtes & @russellgraves. I humbly bow to the masters. #photographer #wildlife #wildlifephotography #outdoors #work #photobiz #freelance #production #commercialphotography #photosafari #nature #naturephotography #naturephotos https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlQMiyJM3b/?igshid=1pzb2urtu7w4o

Part of my "mid-life camera crisis," as my wife jokingly - but accurately - calls it, is the collection of camera bags. This latest one, the Roosevelt Buffalo Leather bag from @buffalo_jackson, is definitely a keeper. Rugged good looks, great function and a nod to one of my heroes, this bag will be over my shoulder often. #photographer #photography #travel #leather #leatherwork #buffalojackson #leathercraft #productphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTYB0xJq3_/?igshid=9ncx6tjxbn6q

Big thanks to @realtreeoutdoors for giving me a chance to pen a few words & post a few pics highlighting my spring season ... "social distancing" from the photo blind.

"I had come to get rhinoceros photographs, and here were the subjects, so there was nothing to do but swallow my feelings and get to work." - A. Radclyffe Dumgore; "Camera Adventures in the African Wilds"; 1910 Dugmore penned these words 110 years ago, after struggling on a few unsuccessful stalks with his camera - a heavy, awkward, beast of a rig that few of us, myself included, would have the strength, guts or patience to carry. His words ring true today; they're a great reminder that when you're in a creative rut or just struggling to get the shot, the best thing you can do is park your feelings, roll up your sleeves and get to work. #africa #safari #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #bbcearth #photographer #rhino #rhinocerous #work #blackandwhite #dowork #wild #nature #naturephotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CA3k6bYpcdq/?igshid=t5hhbcmrr8hz

This little guy doesn't know it, but he's a master of camouflage. "Social distancing" in my photo blind and documenting his antics has been the highlight of my spring. #wildlife #wildlifephotography #montana #owl #birdphotography #profotopets #profotopetscompetition @profotoglobal #photographer #fujifilm #fujifilmxt4 #fujixseries #mirrorless #wildlifephotographer https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxblShJ6dc/?igshid=1gua3xpr4jz1
