I am living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. I endeavor to capture imagery of wildlife which elicit an emotional response from the viewer. We are all dependent on the health of our environment. If we are to continue as a species, we have to maintain a healthy ecosystem. We owe this to future generations of all species we share this planet with.
I dedicate this site to the species portrayed within. My purpose for displaying the images here is the hope that doing so will bring further understanding and appreciation of the natural world. I will gladly allow the use of my images to you if that use helps the above stated goal.Please contact me first.

"rlw5663 has spent a lot of time with the wild ones he photographs and has entered their frame of mind, you can feel it in the photos. I get such a sense of character from his bears, wolves, jays, goldfinches.
AND he likes Barry Lopez!"8th September, 2006
