2014 Review

Happy New Year! I hope that 2014 was as stellar a year for you as it was for me...easily the best year of my life so far with almost all of it doing what I love the most: photographing wildlife in remote and exotic locations!

In total I spent nearly 9 months on the road last year, snapping over 70,000 photos in 4 different continents!
