Sorry for the sudden barrage of journals, but this is just too fantastic not to share. Any of you who have looked at the profile information on my page have seen that my favorite artist is Mitsuaki Iwago. Really a fantastic wildlife photographer any way you slice it. He has a gritty style that doesn't gussy up the natural world or try to make wild animals into the cute cuddly things you see so often in zoo photos. He shows it like it is. Sometimes it's cute, sometimes it's brutal, and most of the time, it just takes your breath away. He specializes in African wildlife, lions in particular, and I'd say the vast, vast majority of my favorite wildlife photos are his.
So imagine my surprise when I stumbled across an archive 560 images long of his photography today while searching for lion photos. I almost died and went to heaven. If the images were in higher resolution, I might have.
Do yourself a huge favor and go check out what wildlife photography is supposed to be - Visit the gallery by heading over to the National Geographic Creative archives and running a search for "mitsuaki iwago minden pictures". And then enjoy.

Twitter Account Thing
Hey folks,
Been a while since my last journal, so I just wanted to write a quick one to say I'm starting a Twitter account.

I'll probably try to treat it as a portfolio of sorts, upload some of my better photos and photos that are personal favorites, but it may expand into an alternate gallery in the future. We'll see. If you haven't been watching me here on dA since 2004 or haven't gone back through the roughly 16,000 photos I've posted since then, you might see something over there you haven't seen before. So if you want to follow me there and/or retweet my photos to the winds, that would be awesome. :
Referencing and Redistributing My Work
Because I’ve gotten a few requests, and because I’ve discovered some of my photos on other websites, I decided to go ahead and write a quick journal to let everyone know my stance on referencing and redistributing my work.
Referencing:
I think it’s fantastic that you like my photos enough to draw/paint from them. If you would like to reference one of my photos for your work, feel free! I ask two things:
Please give credit for the reference by linking back to my page or the photo you referenced, and
If you remember, send me a link so I can come see!
tl;dr: Yes!
Redistribution:
I’m a little torn on this one becau
I you haven't already seen this: (Petition)
I don't expect it to do much, if anything, but if you feel strongly that the results of the election in the US don't represent you or the country at-large's values of inclusiveness, acceptance, tolerance, and equality, you might visit the following Change.org link and consider signing the petition:
https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19?recruiter=75544430&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
Again, I don't expect it do much, but it is a way to make your voice heard in the aftermath of this debacle. And don't stop there. If you truly feel abandoned
Ugh
Stop the world. I want to get off.
