, elk, barren ground caribou, Dall sheep, moose and wolves. Ungulates and canids from Alaska.
When a wild animal allows us to briefly share his world, to spend time in his company, it's a rewarding and privileged experience. The preservation of habitat, of wildlife, of wildness, is imperative to our existence. To lose that which is wild is to lose too much, to give up an integral part of our soul. I treasure my photographs and I hope you enioy them, but I treasure more than words can express the experiences they represent.
"If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit." -- Chief Seattle.
