1998-ongoing

I have been collecting insects since childhood. To the horror of many I run toward bugs and hoard their carcasses in my freezer. Over the years I have pinned and cataloged thousands. Using precise digital techniques, I capture hundreds of images of each specimen and combine them to create extremely high resolution photographs of these extraordinary bugs.
