Inspired Representations of the Natural World

I really enjoy taking outdoor photography (or as my wife likes to call it, at least when I'm doing it, "shooting bunnies").  As part of my day-to-day activities, I make bad photos look good - I can usually make something presentable out of almost anything - so to increase the challenge in presenting my portfolio, I've made a game of sorts out of it; all of the photos below are unprocessed, with only the most basic color/level/contrast adjustment and no cropping/rotating/otherwise.  If you like my work, please contact me to arrange a shoot, get permission to use my images and/or secure high-res copies.  If you're thinking of using my images outside fair use without permission: first of all, shame on you, that's theft, it's wrong and you know it; secondly, I might only ask for a credit and I might not even ask for that if I like what you're doing with it, so you shouldn't hesitate to inquire; third and finally, if you steal these images they are still small-ish/low-res, so ask yourself "Is it worth ticking off a guy who can easily make a highly visible public example of my lack of ethics?"
