A Visual History of Albemarle Wildlife
Over the last four years, I have explored Albemarle county looking for the best places to film and photograph wildlife in order to learn more about my local environment and to share its beauty with the world. I have spent most of my time capturing photos and videos on University of Virginia grounds, McIntire Park, Ragged Mountain Nature Area, Ivy Creek Natural Area, and Shenandoah National Park.
This page contains my nature documentary "Albemarle Wild," as well as an interactive photo gallery of the locations mentioned above.
