My images have appeared in magazines such as National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, International Wildlife, Equinox, Maclean’s, Western Living, and many other brochures, popular magazines and scientific publications..

Some have also seen print in books such as

Squirrels of the World (2012)
Hope for Animals and their World (2011)
Rodents and Lagomorphs of BC (2010)
Wild Science (2004)
Saving Endangered Species With a Scientist (2004)
Die Murmeltiere der welt (1996)
(The Marmots of the World)

It’s not that I’m the world’s greatest photographer or anything, but I did get to spend a lot of time with a particular endangered rodent. Indeed if you Google “Vancouver Island marmot images”, you’ll see a bunch of my work, more often than not uncredited.
