Over the years my work has alternated between writing and photography—sometimes combining the two. The way I see it: it’s all story telling. 
My current work focuses on presenting portraits and narratives of bird life.  I am also writing a new novel entitled Reveille In Birdland, scheduled for completion in 2023.

Publications:
Success by Ten by George Russell and Michael Sheldon. Wylie. 2009
Fifty-plus articles in PDN(Photo District News) 1988-1993

I also created a series of photographic novels/narratives:
