Nick Chill Photography's photostream  

                                       

  My official website: www.NickChillPhotography.com   and   Blog

Signed, limited-edition fine art prints are available on my website.
10% of all fine art print sales is donated to charitable 501(c) conservation organizations.

  I am a fine art landscape and wildlife photographer, currently residing in San Diego, CA. My passion for photography didn't come until nearing the end of my 5 year enlistment in the U.S. Navy. Also around that time, I experienced a powerful personal/spiritual awakening that has forever changed my views of life. This new awakened view of life is also the source of my photographic inspiration.

  My mission in photography, if there is one, is to bring the true beauty of life to everyone. Helping to raise compassion for our planet and the desire to protect its wonders. I donate a percentage of my print sales to conservation, as well as donating images when I have the opportunity. I hope to one day play a more direct role in nature conservation. You can catch me riding around San Diego on my red Vespa GTS 250, probably with my tripod strapped to the back seat. =)
