I am a nature photographer.  I have been traveled throughout the United States photographing birds for many years. Though I visited the vast majority of bird hot spots in North America, where I took a lot of interesting pictures of birds, my favorite place is the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens, New York.  This is a site, where local and migratory birds live in their natural habitats.  The wildlife meets here with the Great City of New York, what makes this site even more extraordinary.  I share my love to the refuge along with dozens of bird watchers and bird photographers, visiting this place from all over the US and the world.
I had a privilege to present my bird photography exhibition in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center in 2001. 
As a polish immigrant I felt honored to be invited to participating in Ellis Island Immigration Museum Exhibition "The Gate to Nature ", which took place in 2003. 
I was glad to present my pictures along with my colleagues from Polish American Photographic Club in the Exhibition "SALON 2004" in the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland, and to take part in the “New New Yorkers Festival” in Warsaw in 2004.
I have been awarded in numerous nature photo contests in the U.S. and abroad, including the most prestigious - The British Gas Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
I graduated from New York Institute of Photography in 1994.
I believe that the key to taking good bird photographs is a knowledge of biology and behavior of birds, combined with technical skill and creative imagination, and above all, patience.
