I try to take my images "As Is", with the smallest amount of manipulation as possible. I call this the photojournalism approach to nature photography. The way I see the image in the viewfinder is how the final photo is presented.
Having studied Commercial Art and Advertising Design in College, becoming the Photo Editor of the college newspaper and later having been a Designer/Design Director for NBC, CBS, ABC, Turner and the FOX Television Network has greatly shaped my visual acuity.
