Here you'll find fun, facts, and photos about nature from North Carolina and beyond. Many folks have inquired about licensing photos for various projects. I'm happy to work with those interested in licensing photos. Please contact me at jspippen@duke.edu for more information. Photos before 2006 were taken with a Nikon CoolPix 4500, generally under natural lighting. Photos beginning 2006 were taken as above or with a Canon EOS 20d with flash or with natural lighting. Enjoy!
