In 2003 the darkroom and film system was sold as Ed & Gail made the complete transition to digital photography using Canon professional equipment. They really like the flexibility and control that digital imaging provides.

Gail has always been Ed's "photographic assistant". She has an excellent eye for composition and a love of the natural world that has helped produce many of the images on this site. Recently she has begun to make her own nature images which have been very well received by many in the photographic community. Now Ed & Gail work together to build the Nature's Vision Photography portfolio of high quality nature images.
