A wing and a prayer...'s photostream
|
I live to be outdoors. Photography provides the outlet and opportunty for expression like no other hobby I've ever enjoyed. My passion is nature and wildlife photography. I particularly love the challenge of capturing birds in their natural habitat along with birds of prey and ducks in flight and trying to manage the light, composition, and timing to capture them as they live in the wild.
I live in Arkansas and am blessed to be in the Ozark Mountain region of Arkansas. Although I live in a moderately large metropolitan area, I can be in the wild in only minutes from my home in NW Arkansas.
Besides photography, I am an avid fly fisherman, love golf, camping, hanging out with my wife and best friend of 35 yrs., and am a rabid Arkansas Razorback fan.
It will always be in the wild where we find ourselves, where we lose ourselves, where life comes into order, were we are humbled by God and His creation and where we rediscover our true inner spirit.

l.gallier says:
"Mike just amazes me with his talent and ability to get some of the most strikingly beautiful shots of Gods winged creatures, on flicker. He must have an outdoor studio with these flying models lined up just to get in front of his shutter. So many of his shots are taken during the magic hours of the day when the light is low on the horizon and casting a beautiful glow. It is obvious by his work that he is a very talented and dedicated photographer. I am so glad to have found his photostream. Mike is a wonderful flicker friend and Christian."
