Man, this is my favourite issue from you yet. For obvious reasons. I want more people to revel in the beauty of nature, and you certainly have taken up the cause. This is a noble path you're on, and I am incredibly happy for you.

Good luck and Godspeed Randy.

Thank you so much, man! Good luck to you as well. I wish I had pursued these passions at a much younger age, like you are. I'm sure I am going to see you someday on TV with your own wildlife show!

It may sound controversial but to acquire some insight into succeeding to get close enough to get that photo shot / studying hunting techniques might help. Simple as sitting in a duck blind with decoys out.

That's a good suggestion, and I have thought about it. My Dad was a big hunter. Something I never gravitated towards. But, as a kid, I spent some time sitting in blinds with him, waiting for him to get that perfect shot. Photography is very similar. Just a different kind of shot. 😊

"There is nothing as beautiful as what we can find in nature. No building, painting, cathedral, or other work of art can touch what nature has to offer. That’s a hill I’m willing to die on"

I love your conviction. Nature is quite literally the GREATEST work of art.

Loving the eagle photos, and looking forward to seeing more from you, Randy!!

Thanks, Sandra! You're right, it is the greatest work of art. And it can be the best psychologist as well, if we are willing to spend time in it and listen to what it's trying to tell us.
