Shambala Animals
The SHAMBALA PRESERVE is an exotic cat sanctuary for unwanted,excess, and abused big cats. I have served as it's staff photographer now for many years and most of my big cat photos were taken there. SHAMBALA is owned and operated by the non profit ROAR FOUNDATION which was founded by actress and animal rights activist Tippi Hedren. She also serves as the Foundation's president. Tippi and her dedicaated staff of caretakers and volunteers enable these animals to live out healthy lives in peace, harmony and dignity. Please visit SHAMBALA'S website at www.shambala.org. Enjoy!
Note: All photos of baby cats is this catagory were taken over 20 years ago before the current Shambala ban on breeding it's animals was in effect.

I love all aspects of photography but I am most passionate about photographing exotic wild cats. Most of my subjects are captive animals residing at the Shambala Preserve in Acton California. I have been filming them for over 25 years and the cumulative experience with these animals has manifested itself in the intimate nature of my photos.
Other works represented are from assignments I have worked on which often entailed various travels throughout the world.
