My nickname is Bugsie and here at this Blogspot you eventually might find a gallery of the images I have captured over the last few years - hence:

The Bug Shot Spot

Photography - It's a family thing.  At family functions for as long as I can remember there was always a camera in someones hand taking photos.  It really was a family hobby on both sides.  One day my dad put into my hands a Mamiya-U series 35mm point and shoot camera and I never looked back. 

Nature - Another family thing.  I recall stories going way back of grandpa feeding animals along the canals in Florida with my father; my mother hand raising animals for pet stores and as family pets; me passing along all that love for nature to my own family and then to the Scouts.

Artistic Perspective - Again, a family thing.  There are artists of all types running through the trees on both sides of the family so there is bound to be some genetic disposition.  Hearing "You have an eye!" or "You should show these somewhere!" have been just some of the heartwarming comments about the images I've captured so far.  I've never put a name to it I just know what I like seeing in a photo.  Being able to experience and share all of nature's expressions has been the blessing for me.

If you put all of those elements together, love of photography, love and respect for nature and some artistic perspective, you get a lot of loving, carefully considered photos of nature (and other wonders).
