After a slow and sorry false start, I have decided to recommence this website.....For updates, please scroll down this little message window.

Recent additions and edits have occurred in the hummingbird galleries, where they are separated into the species which visit my home in Southern California. Simply click on the hummingbird gallery to descend to the images.

I have also uploaded some spider pictures. These all come from my large uncataloged library of slide transparencies, and have been scanned using various equipment. As I do more of these, a lot of these images will be replaced. The spiders can be found in the Nature gallery.

I have created a couple of blogs - a  Personal one and another devoted to High Speed Flash

The Contact page is available for anyone wishing to send any comments or questions - I welcome them!

Roy's Hummingbird Images were on display for most of 2008 at the Museum of Art, Hickory, NC. This was an exhibition on the work of Harold 'Doc' Edgerton and the photographers he inspired. Roy was very flattered to be asked to be part of this exhibition, and his high speed flash images of hummingbirds were very well received. See the Events  page for further details.

This website contains many of Roy's high speed flash photography images, and if you are interested in high speed flash equipment, or high speed flash techniques, feel free to click on the Techniques and Gear pulldown menu. Here you will find detailed description of many of the high speed flash systems that have been used by Roy and others over the years, including some very rare custom equipment.

November 2008 saw Roy in Ecuador photographing hummingbirds for the Center of Tropical Research, out of UCLA. He worked in the Choco Rainforest of NW Ecuador, regarded as one of the top 5 biodiversity areas on the planet. Some images of that expedition will be posted soon.
