I'm a Catholic Priest in my late 40s, and fell in love with nature photography as there is so much beauty in our world. I've shot seriously for about 15 years and compete in camera clubs and other compeittions, doing some writing for "Nature Photographer" and have a website where I have all of my work, fatherpaul.smugmug.com. Birds are my favorite subject, though I also love other mammals and landscapes too. I'm also a dog lover and hope to have a furry friend the rest of my life (Emmett's with me in the photo) and I truly believe dogs show us so much about the true meaning of love.
