I love photographing animals in their natural habitat. There is a challenge to working that way that I immensely enjoy. You and the animal have to cross paths, they are not forced to be your subject, they can leave at any moment. There is a mutual respect. They give you clues if you are crossing their boundaries and you must respect them or they will or leave (or worse, charge you, which is terrifying, but is typically the human's fault for not responding to their warnings).
