I had the good fortune to serve as the principal photographer for the Tropical Science Center and the reknowned Monteverde Preserve (Costa Rica) for several years, and to author the official photography book of the Preserve. The Preserve is a natural wonderland, with breathtaking scenery and staggering biodiversity, and it's an important model for tropical protected areas and scientific research.
