For the past twenty years I have been making photographs that question how we define wildness and how we value nature. Through making this work I have come to realize that our perception of nature and our relationship to wildness is precarious and full of paradox. Wildlife has been forced into a strange symbiotic relationship with humankind: when we intervene, we take away part of what is wild; if we do not intervene then wildlife itself may disappear. Our self-imposed stewardship of all that is wild, has made our touch essential to the lives of the animals we have imperiled-we have no choice but to intervene.

In this project I have worked with individuals and organizations from across the country including the Center for Species Survival located at the National Zoo and the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, National Wildlife Research Center, Fort Collins, CO, Arizona Fish and Wildlife Services, Hawk Watch International, the Birds of Prey Foundation, and the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Portfolio prints are 16”x20” and 20”x24”.
