One of the first long term projects I ever produced involved documenting the life history of whitetail deer. Much of that work was published in the form of a coffee table sized book titled Whitetail Country back in 1987. I’ve since moved on chronicling the lives of many different animals but thankfully my work with whitetails lives on and was recently featured on the cover of the December 9th issue of Time magazine.
Sadly, the story is about how these beautiful animals have prospered to the point of becoming a pest in the minds of many people. Part of the reason Whitetail Country sold over 150,000 copies was due to the popularity of the book with hunters and also suburban residents that wanted to know more about these wonderful creatures that many people saw in their local parks and woodlands. A big thank you to Myles Little, associate Photo Editor, who agreed to make sure they ran a proper credit line that included the my name along with our agent Getty Images. So many publications today are only giving credit to the agent. Thank you Myles.
