Wildlife Photography

Why do we do it? Why do we find ourselves standing alone in the dark in cold and remote places, waiting for the sun to rise? Overnighting in cheap motels in small towns, or in isolated campgrounds, away from our friends and families. Driving long distances, frequently alone, to unfamiliar places. What sort of compulsion is this?

Landscape, nature and wildlife photographers are a strange breed. Whether they do it for a living, as an art, or simply as a hobby, they spend large amounts of money on equipment, film and processing, and travel. Other people have similar expensive compulsions, including golf, skiing and fly fishing, to name several. But none require the frequent isolation and effort that many of us photographers expend.
