Gallery: Funny Animal Faces

Children love mugging for cameras, begging to have their picture taken. Animals don’t “mug” but they do have incredibly expressive faces and we’ve collected some of our favorite funny face photographs for you to enjoy. Click on image to see large version.

Gallery: Birds

Brent has developed an almost obsession with birds. Coming to live in Israel didn't help with more than 500 bird species migrating through Israel, pausing for refreshment, rest, and a chance for Brent to get out the camera and photograph. He has photographed the birds of North America and other parts of the world with […]

Gallery: Close-ups in Nature

Gallery: Patterns in Nature

Patterns in nature are to be found everywhere you look. Diagonal lines, squares, rectangles, circles, spheres, and spirals of every kind.

We’ve prowled the markets of Israel, Budapest, Paris, Prague, London, Madrid, and more, uncovering visual treasures offered up for sale. We hope you enjoy some of our adventures through the marketplaces of the world […]

Gallery: Doors of the World

Exploring the world of nature through our cameras, we have become more aware of the wonders of man. They say home is where the heart is, and the first impression of a good heart-filled home is the door. In an upcoming article in our Behind The Scenes category, we introduce you to the “Art of […]

Gallery: Scenics and Landscapes

There is magic and majesty in a wide sweeping landscape, the eye seeing vast distances within a small photograph frame. Landscapes and scenics continue to be the most requested photographs from nature photographers and we love capturing the drama of a vast snow-capped mountain range, fields of grasses flowing into infinity, sunset light on a […]

Gallery: Travel – International

Leaving North America for the wilds of the Middle East and the rest of the planet has opened up new horizons and discoveries. We spent five years living in Tel Aviv, Israel, and took frequent trips outside of the country to explore fascinating venues such as Istanbul, Prague, Budapest, Paris, Jordan, and Greece. In addition […]

Gallery: Travel – USA

Packing up our life into a 30 foot fifth wheel trailer, we dragged that and our cameras back and forth across North America for a couple of years, photographing the wonders as we found them. Our travels have included much of the west coast of Canada, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Alaska. Click on […]
