Moose\u2019s passion for photography turned into a business in 1981. Along with his wife Sharon, they have dedicated their lives to the education and protection of our wild heritage through his photography. Moose in 2008 added his passion for aviation photography with the same goal of preserving our aviation heritage and the freedoms they protect, pictorially and orally for future generations.

He was part of Epson\u2019s Finish Strong ad campaign. Moose was the creative producer\/photographer of his acclaimed film: Warbirds and The Men Who Flew Them<\/i><\/b>. He shares his knowledge through his writing, being published in over 143 magazines worldwide, author of 29 books including his latest, Takeoff<\/i><\/b> and best seller Captured<\/i><\/b>. One of the original Nikon shooters to receive the D1 in 1999, Moose embraced this new technology, becoming the only wildlife photographer in the world to shoot strictly digital in the early years. <\/p>\n

\r\n\"DMPMP1581\"<\/a>\r\nMoose\u2019s true passion has always been and remains to photograph the life history of our endangered wildlife and wild places. Since 1981 he and his wife Sharon have dedicated their lives to this pursuit. Educating the public about our wild heritage is their hallmark. In recent years Moose has added aviation photography to his pursuits with the same goal of preserving our aviation heritage, pictorial and oral for future generations. Along the way Moose has been honored for his photographic passion: a Nikon Ambassador USA, Lexar Elite Photographer, recipient of the John Muir Conservation Award, Research Associate with the Endangered Species Recovery Program, just to name a few. He\u2019s part of Epson\u2019s Finish Strong ad campaign. Moose is creative producer\/photographer of his acclaimed film: Warbirds and The Men Who Flew Them. He shares his knowledge through his writing, being published in over 143 magazines worldwide, author of 29 books including his latest, Takeoff<\/em> and best seller Captured<\/em>. He lectures across the country to thousands upon thousands of photographers every year. One of the original Nikon shooters to receive the D1 in 1999, Moose embraced this new technology, becoming the only wildlife photographer in the world to shoot strictly digital in the early years. While a beta site for all the major hardware and software manufacturers, Moose continues being a creative innovator of new techniques both behind the camera and the computer, which is the driving force behind his photography and goals.
