"... from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." — Charles Darwin, On the Origin of Species

The natural world is astonishingly beautiful, and I try to document the forms I see through photography. There is immense variation between and within species, which I've come to appreciate more as I later compare these pictures and attempt to identify each organism. For me, an ideal picture captures both the intricate details of the organism and its surrounding environmental context.
