IMG_5697

I'm a jack of all trades (master of none) computer guy doing work ranging from server maintenance to web programming to graphic illustration. I'm in my dissertation phase of a PhD at Nova Southeastern in Computer Information Science, and I picked up nature photography to give myself a break from the dreary coursework.

I'm documenting the wildlife that appears in Rhode Island and taking a special interest in Wasps of all sorts. Since getting up close to many species, I'm finding how docile and approachable most are. I also have been active in video production for many years and hope to film a short documentary on bug life here in the state for 2008.

Some of my best captures:

Black Swallowtail caterpillar (Papilio polyxenes) Long Legged Fly (Condylostylus sp.) European Paper Wasp (Polistes dominula) Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus) Hoverfly (Toxomerus marginatus) Cross Spider (Araneus diadematus) IMG_2832_cropped IMG_2853_cropped Robber Fly (Efferia aestuans) IMG_2973_cropped Green Lacewing (Chrysopa oculata) Hoverfly (Epistrophe grossulariae) IMG_3202_cropped Sand Wasp (Bicyrtes quadrifasciatus) IMG_4173_cropped Stink Bug (Apateticus sp.) Ailanthus Webworm Moth (Atteva punctella) American Copper (Lycaena phlaeas) Jagged Ambush Bug (Phymata fasciata) Harvestmen (Phalangium opilio) Daring Jumping Spider (Phidippus audax) Blowfly
