TITLE: Portraits of wild Great Grey Owls

In Terrace, Northern British Columbia there's a valley where the Great Grey Owls surrounded the area. For three solid days I had a rare opportunity to photograph this event. These magnificent birds of prey allowed me to approach at very close distance, sometimes at hands reach. It seemed they had never lay eyes on a human before and were curious of me. Only armed with a smaller portrait lens I captured them like they were posing for the camera. This was a magical time for me and I am very happy to share this moment.

I simply love photography and everything about it. Capturing a moment in time is savoring a memory with detail. With a camera on hand it allows me to imprint anything that intrigues me thus giving me a copy of something that will never be seen again, just like a time capsule frozen forever. Canada is great country which I call home, I have traveled from one end to the other and will continue this passion.
