Hanson Photo

After retiring from a position as research scientist in the area of image analysis and Bayesian statistics, I rekindled my long-held passion for photography. Today I specialize in nature photography with an emphasis on wildlife photography, as well as landscape. Wildlife photography is especially challenging because capturing a good photograph requires patience, adept camera technique and good luck, which makes it very gratifying to capture a striking picture. My favorite subjects have included birds, coyotes, insects and flowers, as well as landscapes, from around New Mexico; whales, bald eagles and glaciers in Alaska; grizzly and spirit bears in British Columbia; Magnificent frigatebirds, iguanas and Sally lightfoot crabs in the Galapagos; and water birds in Florida, Texas and California.
