I and many others lost a very dear friend.
Dan Ulwelling past away on January 8, 2006, which happen to be on my birthday.
“Big D, Always Remembered.... Never Forgotten”
I am a firm believer in the saying that, “Things happen for a reason”. The cause and effect of an event is not always immediately evident, yet once the connection is made, even if it is years later, the impact of it all makes perfect sense. Even though experiences in life can be pleasant or sometimes not so pleasant, if we are paying attention, we will learn equally as well from both.
My interest in Nature and Wildlife Photography fits into my philosophy due to the fact that my life has been blessed with so many influential people who I now know have been in my life for a reason. Due to the influence of some individuals who've expressed and portrayed love for either creativity with the camera, or nature, I have found in myself a desire to combine the two, and am continually fascinated by the split-second opportunity to capture an image in nature that will be enjoyed for a lifetime.
