    Often the simple pleasure of being out alone with low expectations can still yield fine results. It’s the joy of the process that keeps us coming back for more, isn’t it?

    “Have a great time.” Words of wisdom to live by. GTNP is one of the best places to photograph moose. Keep up your amazing work.

    For me, I enjoy the "environmental" style images the best. I enjoy seeing critters in their natural habitat. Close ups are great, but it's those environmentals are where it's at for me. Living vicariously through your videos.

    Hi Steve!! I enjoyed this so much..... Two weeks ago, I drove south west of my city here in Alberta.. found a gorgeous mule buck in a yet, uncut field of hay.... took a couple of shots. Met the owner of the farm and he told me about the biggest bull moose he'd ever seen in his life, just north of where I visited him. I've returned several times, hoping to find something.. Love your videos; glad to hear your life has settled down and that all things are good... jan
