I have a stock slide file of native North American freshwater aquatic flora and fauna available for commercial publication. All
of my images are taken underwater in the subjects' natural environment. I specialize in photographing subjects underwater to
capture colors and behaviors that can not be duplicated in an aquarium. Capturing spawning colors and behaviors of native
fishes has been a high priority. In addition to fishes, images of rarely photographed freshwater sponges, hydras, caddisfly
cases and nets, mayfly and dragonfly nymphs, bryozoans, plus other invertebrates and plants are also available. Over the last
several years I have been working and studying in a few pristine prairie streams in Kansas. After studying these streams and
their inhabitants I have, through trial and error, developed techniques for photographing a variety of aquatic subjects. I have
successfully used these techniques in different types of aquatic environments in several other states, most recently in Florida,
Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. I am continuing to travel to different states to increase my species list.
