This is a list of the photos currently
available for viewing, downloading, or whatever else you can think of.
Each main title is linked to the corresponding page of thumbnail images;
the name of each photo is linked to the full-size image. Also, I've
included links to ZIP files containing all of the full-size images in each

 Miscellaneous
critters
The shrew and possum were photographed in the summer of 1989 in the mountains of West Virginia; I shot the puddling butterflies under the New River Bridge in WV. The others were taken at various times at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, NM.
Other
miscellaneous stuff
This is an easy one. The two floral pictures are from an amazing meadow at the Texas Tech field station in Junction, TX. The cave formations are from Luray Caverns in Virginia.
New
Mexico - Socorro
These were taken from 1984-1988 in and around my study site in Socorro County, just across highway 360 from White Sands Missile Range and 11.3 miles east of the Owl Bar (home of the best green-chile cheeseburgers on the planet). Most of the shots are of various Chihuahuan desert plant associations and are very useful for illustrating what this type of desert looks like. One thing that amazed me at this site was how abruptly the soil could change from relatively deep sand (vegetation dominated by mesquite) to shallower desert pavements (vegetation dominated by creosote). I hope some of that shows through in the photos.
New
Mexico - other
These were taken (as you can tell fromthe names) on the Pecos River in northern NM; at Chaco Canyon near the Four Corners area; and at the Valley of Fires (Carrizozo lava flows) National Monument in the east/central part of the state. I especially like the shots from the lava flows, myself.
West
Virginia - beaver habitat
These are nice illustrations of beaver-dominated habitats, showing as much of the impact of the critters as possible. These were taken in the Monogahela National Forest of WV, by First Fork in the Cheat Mountain area, in the summer of 1989. The surrounding habitat is mature (~80 years) second growth red spruce, with lots of alder along some of the edges. It's a beautiful spot -- much prettier than the pictures show.
West
Virginia - plants and habitats
More images from in and around the same red spruce habitat as above. Part of the forest on one side of the beaver pond had been clearcut within the previous 10 years; I've included some shots of the amazingly dense edge habitat that resulted. The clearcut itself harbored a wonderful diversity of plants and animals, thanks in large part to the extensive stands of red spruce left uncut.
West
Virginia running water
I can't resist creeks, streams, rivers, or any other form of running water. I just wish I did a better job of capturing them on film. These were taken in the Cheat Mountain region of WV during the summer of 1989 and illustrate some different riparian habitats.
West
Virginia wildflowers
Just a few shots of the many beautiful flowers in the WV mountains.
West
Virginia - miscellaneous
A couple of obligatory sunsets and a few shots of the New River.
