If you like these, or any other images on my site, then please consider buying the photos via the "Buy" button on the top of each gallery page. If you want to check the progress of your shopping cart don't be afraid to use my "Shopping cart" link at the top right corner of the website.

This will take you directly to your cart. After you're done glancing at the goodies, simply hit the "Back" button on the web browser to be taken back to the last gallery visited.

I am completely independently financed and in order to continue to contribute high quality photos from everywhere around the world I need your help.

Any and all proceeds will be used to finance my continued goal as a world historian of interesting images and videos.

The proceeds will be used to help me with growing travel expenses, the upkeep of this website and of my equipment.

My work is a way of life. It is my hope that my photos and videos will endure, this is my life's work, and my output is my legacy. Anyone who buys my work can be a part of this legacy.

This website is an extension of my being and a look into my soul and of the soul of a rapidly dying world and alternate way of life.

So, if you like it, buy it! That way everyone benefits and the site and my work will live long and prosper.

And the window that allows us all to bear witness to the soul of the wild world that still exists; the one that I have, and will continue to expose for everyone's eyes too see will continue to remain unfogged.

This was and always will be the mission of my work and my website and the reason I chose the name to reflect it. Bruce Cockburn said in a wonderfully somber and sobering song that "The beautiful creatures are going away" and so they are, but with your help we can at least have lasting records and impressions of what one day may cease to be; or even better possibly generate enough interest to stop them from having to leave. I hope that everyone will help support me with this goal.

Sighed with love and respect,

Dustin F. Griffin.
