A male African lion, Panthera leo, pauses momentarily in his descent of a rocky incline. In sub-Saharan Africa where it lives in the wild, this large member of the cat family is considered a vulnerable species and is endangered. Lions once inhabited all of Africa and their habitat extended from eastern Europe into India. I photographed the young male you see here in a zoo; I applied a light painted look to the image, primarily to the background.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
