At an early age, Martin B. Alvendia developed a love for wildlife when he would go on hunting trips with his grandfather, dad and two brothers. “Learning about animals in their natural habitat was such an intimate moment with family and the great outdoors”, he shares. Twenty years later, Alvendia rekindled his love for nature when he discovered the power of an SLR lens. What started out as a family pastime turned into a passionate pursuit, bringing home one-of-a-kind photographs of our fine feathered friends that not too many people notice or experience for themselves. “They are full of life—their colors, the way they live—it is so easy to be mesmerized.” When not crawling and crouching in the fields, Alvendia can be found on the race track managing a Go Kart team.
