I’m a budding enthusiast, but I have noticed that my photographic experiences have already opened up a whole new way of looking at most everything. I now enjoy the simple as well as the complex images in nature. life, and other people.

I find it more appealing than even Cranes in the Fire Mist.

And a thought provoking commentary to go along with the image. The concept of artistry or artistic intent being more important to inspiring (as this is) imagery than the technical aspects is one that I think many of us forget.

I suspect that more wonderful shots have their technical flaws disregarded than the other way around. How often we see shots that are technically perfect (well exposed, framed, lit) but uninspired.

But then again, it’s easy to say that when your image exhibits both artistry and technical mastery in spades.

Stunning.

Thank you.

It’s much harder (and more dangerous) to get to the bears, but they don’t fly and generally move pretty slowly. They’re also larger so in general, bears are much easier. Birds are easier to find, but getting them to pose is hard :)

You inspire and move with your art and words. A true Mentor and example.

One side question though… Which is harder to photograph: brides or bears?

As always a stunning image. Definitely envisioned and created with a quality beyond a normal photograph of birds. The narrative leading to this shot really sets the stage and I can imagine you as the story teller where the crowning achievement is to unveil the masterpiece.

Thanks for taking us with you on this unique and inspiring experience.
