About

Tim has been an active nature photographer since 2005.  He specializes in shore bird photography using a ground pod to get eye level with the birds.  He found that the same technique works well with grizzly bears at Lake Clark National Park in Alaska.

Tim has been published in Natures Best Magazine, Audubon Magazine, Audubon’s 2022 & 2019 Annual Reports, Birds and Blooms magazine and Texas Highways magazine.

Tim has led workshops/field trips for Galveston’s Featherfest since 2011.  Tim had a photo “commended” in the 2023 Bird Photographer of the Year international photo contest.  He also received Honorable Mention in the 2015 National Audubon photo contest and has made the top 100 in several of Audubon’s photo contests.  He won the grand prize for Galveston’s FeatherFest photo contests in 2010 and 2008.  He won the grand prize in the 2012 Migration Celebration photo contest in Brazoria County as well as being a finalist in the 2012 National Wildlife Refuge association photo contest.  He also had photos on display for FotoFest in 2010.
