From Master to Pupil

In the days gone by, or well at least in this neck of the woods, Masters would pass their crafts on to their students.  Once day the student would become the master and they would intern impart their knowledge on to another.  In a recent post Moose Peterson did just that.  He passed on his wisdom concerning your competition by sharing thoes moments that lead him down his road and into his passion.

For those of you who are not familiar with Moose Peterson you likely do not read this blog or you are not into nature photography.  A quick look on wikipeda revelas this about the man:

B. Moose Peterson is a well-known wildlife photographer whose work has been published in over 130 magazines world wide. Moose was one of the first wildlife photographers to embrace digital SLRs, which were once thought unsuitable for wildlife and nature photography given some of the inherent limits with the format. Over the years, Peterson has pioneered digital's use in the field. He has personally published over twenty books and is a recipient of the John Muir Conservation Award for his efforts as an endangered species advocate. Peterson's primary area of interests center on rare and endangered species in North America, particularly in California.

What the wiki article does not revel a short list of his books availble on Amazon might:

• Moose Peterson's Guide to Wildlife Photography: Conventional and Digital Techniques (A Lark Photography Book) 
• Wildlife Photography: Getting Started in the Field (v. 2) 
• Nikon System Handbook 

 His books on photography are great but to really get to understand Moose you need to go here, http://moosepeterson.com  and read his blog or go to http://www.moosegallery.com/ and see some of his images.  Now having looked at all that ;) Here is what he said that created this ramble of a post:

"“You’re only as good as your last photograph.” That means then You are your ONLY competition!"
