Mission Statement:
Having hunted and fished most of my life, I enjoy the special bond that exists among sportsmen. We are always looking for a better way to assure success in the woods. In my presentations I try to pass on as much information as possible that will be of value to sportsmen as well as those who may be interested in the photographic aspect. Photographing a wide variety of wildlife has made it necessary to learn a number of skills and hopefully there will be something useful for all who attend. This, by the way, includes both the failures and the successes. There are many stories that can be told by all who spend much time in the woods. Most are exciting, some are serious, many are humorous, but I never find them dull. I do not find anything dull about looking eye to eye with a trophy whitetail buck or having one stand six feet away and him not know I am there.
Studio in the Wild enjoys the challenge of photographing wildlife in the wild. We exist to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and to promote the enjoyment of and appreciation for the great outdoors. We believe God reveals Himself in that which He has created. The bible says that “the invisible things of God are revealed by the things that are made.... even his eternal power and Godhead." (Rom. 1:21) Fifty Five years ago when Jesus Christ came into my heart He made a permanent change in my life. I pray others will come to know Him also.
