imediaSmith photography, writing, production.

I never set out to be a wildlife photographer. But my sense of place brought me to marshes, swamps, high mountain valleys and even to the prairie. Then the creatures drew me in, teaching me patience, grace and mindfulness as they showed me their worlds. In turn, I've done my best to document nature and the challenges faced by birds, mammals, insects, fish, the scenic places and waters where they hang out, weather, changes in climate, habitat degradation and the urbanization with which we all must contend.
