What I miss about yesterday’s nature photography.   I miss the late Galen Rowell being at the center of the world of nature photography.  I miss Leonard Lee Rue being an active wildlife photographer.  His perspective on photography was different than all others.  He could teach us all about our subjects.  I miss being able to travel to great subjects and be alone, just nature and I.

What I don’t miss.  Having to buy and develop film.  Having only the telephone or snail mail as a way to communicate with other photographers.

All image were made on a tripod unless otherwise noted.
