Early spring Osceola Tom Turkeys showing and strutting their robust display for the hens. Each Tom is hoping his presentation is the best to attract one of more hen turkeys for breeding and continue their linage. This image shows four Toms vying for the hens attention. Only two were out front and you can see the other two, who probably will not be successful in continuing their species.
Adapted from film to digital about ten years ago. Still use my 4x5 view camera at times, love black and white photography. In 1975 I was one of 18 photographers to attend an Ansel Adams photographic work shop, Yosemite National Park, California. A wonderful experience. Turned to stock photography and was with four stock photo agencies, two in the United States and two in Europe. Down to two agencies due to the cost of converting film to digitals. Digital photography knocked out two of the agencies I was with.
