Endearing faces, fascinating body shapes and a habit of sitting still for long periods of time make reptiles and amphibians my favorite photographical topics.

Tree frogs are probably the most adorable, but sometimes highly venomous creatures one can ever get to know, and snakes often have very surprising features when viewed up close through a Macro lens.

The ability to climb trees and a pig headed tolerance of smelly swamps have helped me in my quest to photograph these charming creatures, as has a rather irresponsible lack of fear of things with fangs.

Most people dislike snakes, which is a great shame in my opinion. They are super things that eat up household pests and make for very obliging photographic models.
