Some photographs are best discovered one at a time, large, with nothing else competing for your attention. The slideshow below rotates through the entire Mostly Wildlife collection — wolves, bears, penguins, eagles, and the travel scenes from Europe, Africa, Mexico and Tibet — pausing on each frame long enough to take it in properly.
This was always the favorite corner of the old art-fair booth: a folding chair, a portfolio book, and people slowly turning pages while the crowd flowed past outside. The slideshow is the closest an online gallery comes to that experience. Use the arrows to move at your own pace, or simply let it run.
How to Watch

A Note on the Sequence
The images are arranged the way the print bins used to be: wildlife first, because that is what most visitors came for; then Antarctica, which always stopped people mid-stride; then the warm-country work from Africa and Mexico; and finally the quiet English and Italian scenes that sent people home calm. There is a rhythm to a good print bin — a snarl, then a sleeping bear; a blizzard, then a lavender field — and the slideshow keeps that rhythm.
Every photograph you see here was made in the field, on location, with wild and free-roaming animals. No game farms, no baiting, no staged moments. If a bear is yawning at the camera, it is because a real bear, on a real November afternoon along Hudson Bay, decided the strange vehicle full of photographers was boring enough to nap in front of. The stories behind each frame — including that bear — are told on the individual photograph pages, starting in the thumbnail gallery.
If a particular image holds your attention, follow its title link to read where it was made and what was happening just outside the frame. And if you are curious how a person ends up spending thirty years doing this, the story behind Mostly Wildlife explains how it began.
