Wildlife/Animals 3rd place winner

How many time do we pass the common and never stop to appreciate its beauty? This series of images featuring the Common Sparrow has tried to showcase the beauty in the common.

An Arizona native, I spent much of my childhood surrounded by a variety of animals that would rival the size of most zoos. It’s no wonder I developed this crazy obsession for all creatures great and small. As an adult, a large part of my professional career was spent in print and web design, but I found myself spending my spare time behind the camera. Currently, my professional career has transitioned from designer to photographer, with a photography portfolio that includes commercial and product photography for various pet manufacturers, pet retailers, housewares, barware, infant and toddler brands. This prior experience, coupled with my passion for photography gives me the opportunity to do what I love!
