These are the main question my wife Mary and I are asked, at our booth, when we're displaying at outdoor Art Shows.

1. Did you take all these pictures?

Yes: I took every one of these pictures

2. Where did you take this picture?

This question is answered individually on most of the pictures shown on this web site.

3. Do you have a catalog?

No, we discontinued our printed catalog because I add so many new pictures so often that our catalog was always out of date. We now depend on this electronic catalog.

4. What kind of camera do you use?

I have eight camera bodies.

During the past year the following three pictures in our booth have been the main attention grabbers. These are the main questions we're asked about these pictures.

About #4370 - "Woodstock" - Panorama of King Penguin Rookery on South Georgia Island, Antarctica.

8. Are the brown Penguins near the water a different kind of Penguin?

No: They are the down covered baby King Penguins and I don't really know why they line up along the water.

9. Are those Walrus in the water?

No: Those are juvenile Elephant Seals and Yes, they're alive and No, they don't bother the Penguins.

About  #4431 - Antarctic Splendor - Blue Iceberg in Antarctica

10. Did you add the blue to this picture?

No: That is just what it looked like, the blue is emitted light.

See: The Blue Iceberg from Antarctica

About #6531 - Downdraft - Leopard with her kill on a tree.

11. This picture attracts attention because the image doesn't seem to make sense.

The Leopard is actually carrying her kill straight down the tree.
