This is what they look like after I sign them. It’s an edition of 15, with each piece number one. The Allen’s Hummingbird chicks just after hatching, and then with their mother keeping them warm in the nest.
For the Roger Tory Peterson Institute exhibition on Backyard Bird Photography to run from January 13 through March 8, 2015. This is the only square image in the show, an Allen’s Hummingbird. Thanks, as always, to my printer Luis Diaz of The Icon for taking the photo. The series of 30 images are all numbered 1 of 15.

A photographer has to visit the camera store from time to time. Gintaras Korsakas was kind enough to take this picture of me with the cover of my book Backyard Bird Photography on my computer screen the other day.”Gintas” is a professional photographer who works at Bel Air Camera, and he sold me the gear I used for my book. He also gives me great tips on photography as well.
