Description

I was sitting on a relative's back porch in Fort Worth looking for wildlife to photograph when I was suddenly graced with the presence of a curious little Eastern Screech Owl (Megascops asio). It perched on the porch railing for a few minutes, and allowed me to get some great closeup photos before it became bored and silently flew back into the woods. No matter how well you prepare, you never know what surprises you may encounter as a wildlife photographer. As my brother-in-law said, what a hoot!

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have won several awards, including an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4. (http://issuu.com/camerapixo/docs/hotshots-camerapixo-04/1). My photo, "Blue Norther," was selected by the nonprofit Texas Bluebird Society for its 2010 membership announcements.
