Awesome history behind many of my favorite NG shots and covers growing up. I remember being captivated by the holographic cover as a kid. Thanks again for bringing it back to us. Love the creativeness in its creation.

Wonderful Bruce. Made all the more so by stumbling across this on the web. I remember the series of bat photos in particular, made all the more intriguing by Greg, in your basement, explaining your strobe system (yes, he and I went to school together....)

Thanks Bruce for taking the time to post your stories. Not only do your pictures tell a story but your narration has added so much to the overall experience about the kind of photographer you are. Thanks again.
James Kanka 1 year ago

I love how you end this story. 50,000+ people may see your photos, but it's often the subjects that are left changed the most. Ultimately, whatever we do, we want to have an impact on others, and most often that is done through personal relationships--as best illustrated by your relationship with the man at the end. I like that you show not only a love for photography and adventure, but for people.

By way of photographing people and things you pay people the great compliment that their life is valuable and interesting.
