Cool spider wrapping up a large milkweed bug in the prairie in my backyard. Shot with a Canon 20D and a handheld off camera 580EX with a Lightsphere attached. Triggered via Calumet Litelinks.

- I've been fascinated by photography my whole life, & started getting serious about it in 1985 when I bought my first professional camera. I am an environmental biologist by education and my hikes through the prairies, woods and marshlands of my native Illinois and neighboring Wisconsin provided my first portraiture subjects. I filled my portfolio with images of landscapes, as well as macro shots of the wildflowers, prairie grasses and insects indigenous to the region. When I moved to Chicago, my focus shifted as I became enamored of the city and its cityscapes. Later I began to add alternative processes – such as pinhole, infrared & emulsion transfer – to my portfolio and, in the late 90’s, I began shooting mainly digital. Today, I draw from all this experience to capture the spirit and beauty of each client I am commissioned to photograph. I specialize in on-location shooting, and shoot in a variety of formats – digital, large and medium film, as well as the alternative processes. As a result, I customize each client’s session and provide them with a truly unique and personal portfolio.

Really great photo! Interesting spider - wonder what it is.
It is a black & yellow argiope, Argiope aurantia. It is an orb weaver and pretty darn big!
