About Vic
I have a degree in Zoology and a passion for Photography and Earth’s Wild Places. This passion has taken me to many National Parks and beautiful places in the United States and the World.
I have been fortunate to travel to Peru twice. The first time was on a photo workshop and then as a volunteer at the Tambopata Macaw Research Center. I also traveled to Borneo with Miami University’s Earth Expeditions Global Field Masters Program. In Borneo I joined researchers with HUTAN-Kinabatangan Orangutan Conservation Project and also the Danau Girang Field Centre in Sabah, Malaysia. I traveled to Uganda in 2017 to photograph the endangered Mountain Gorillas of Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga Gorilla National Parks. I also photographed the Chimpanzees of Kibale National Park and the rare Golden Monkeys of Mgahinga.
In the fall of 2018, I travelled to Masoala National Park in Madagascar and Zimanga Private Game Reserve in South Africa. I also photographed Brown Bears in Katmai National Park in Alaska in 2021. In 2022 I visited Yellowstone National Park in the winter. I then visited the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia, Canada and photographed the Coastal Wolves. Recently I visited Nagaharole National Park in Southern India to photograph the Bengal Tigers and other wildlife.
My current interest is conservation photography and I hope my images will inspire others to protect our planet’s wild places and the great biodiversity in them.
Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks – on your body or on your heart – are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
