I had the great pleasure of attending a lecture from Gary Groeneveld at teacher convention this week. A recently retired teacher from Lord Beaverbrook High School, Gary is a very talented Wildlife a Photographer. Most of his photographs are taken in Alberta. Every photo he takes, has a story behind it and it is obvious when you see his work that there is a lot of love and passion behind every photo. Gary does not just "walk out the door" and take a great nature shot- he has to know what to look for and where to find it. He has back packed for two days through the forest and slept in -20 Celsius just to "get that shot". He is patient. He watches and waits and that is what makes him so successful. I am inspired to try some nature photography this summer!
