About Me

Barrington, IL, United States
I am a amateur wildlife photographer who lives in Barrington Illinois. I will use this blog to display my photographs and share the story of how I captured them. Hopefully, anyone reading this blog will venture outdoors and learn all they can about nature. I am convinced that you first have to learn about something to care about something.

Cactus


Who the hell knew that cactus got this big? That's not even unusual for around Phoenix.

I was also surprised to find out that the State is very mountainous and Flagstaff is at 7,000 feet. That's considerably higher than Denver.

Arizona


I'm in Arizona for two-weeks on a work trip. I did not take my camera because it's big, bulky and I just didn’t have the room for it. So I bought a $70 "point and shoot" camera to take on the trip. The photos are not great but it's better than nothing. I've found the quality so low that I've mostly been shooting low-quality video that I can send to Cia. Anyway, here is a huge meteor crater that I visited. It's about 4,000 feet across and 550 feet deep. It's supposedly the best preserved meteor crater in the world because of Arizona's dry climate and that fact that it's *only* 50,000 years old.

This photo was taken using the cameras built in panoramic feature. It's three shots stitched together.
