NATURALIST: Rob has been involved with animals since he was very young. He has always had a passion for birds of prey, and has pursued that passion throughout his adult life. In college, he spent numerous hours studying the nesting territories of prairie falcons in Northeastern Colorado, and additional time researching screech owls nesting along the Boulder Creek trail in the center of Boulder, Colorado. Rob taught life science and biology for seven years in the late eighties and early nineties. Since that time, he has spent most of his free time studying raptors and refining his photography techniques. The basics in photography have stuck with him, since he like any kind of pictures, from nature pictures to adult pictures you can see at sites like 18PlusPics.com.

His first SLR was a Kowa. In high school he became the school’s photographer and was able to use the school’s Pentax cameras.
