Hey Folks, I've got a lot of hats on regarding carnivorous plants. I photograph, grow, and study them. I write about them, and edit Carnivorous Plant Newsletter along with Jan Schlauer. I also serve as the Director of Conservation for the ICPS. Doing this editorial work has given me the responsibility of trying to help others get their work in print, too. First and foremost, I just like seeing carnivorous plants in the wild. This has molded my relationships with carnivorous plants. I grow them to enjoy them when I'm not seeing them "for real" in the wild. I love to photograph them, to try to capture how I see them in my mind's eye. And I like to learn about them, hence the scientific work I do with them. I try to live up to a phrase I heard a mentor of mine say, many years ago. He was a director for a state program of The Nature Conservancy, he told me that he tried to live his life in such a way that he was "worth more to those animals alive, than dead." I try to do the same. I amuse myself by maintaining two large carnivorous plant web sites. The first is the CP FAQ ( www.sarracenia.com/faq.html). The other is my fictional photography gallery, Galleria Carnivora ( www.sarracenia.com/galleria/galleria.html) For my day job, I work for The Nature Conservancy as a scientist for the Global Invasive Species Initiative.
