Warm greetings to our friends and
colleagues around the nation!
’Tis the time for voting and partaking of large amounts
of turkey—and to ask ourselves, what are we thankful for?

FCP: What is
more difficult: getting ninth-graders to do their homework or
tracking down and photographing elusive wildlife?
DB: Hands
down, getting my ninth graders to do their homework!
FCP: What was
the most difficult shot in the book?
DB: The
eagles on the nest on page 56 was, by far, the most difficult.
I had to build a blind on top of a 60-foot-tall metal tower,
enter the blind before daybreak, and leave it after sunset so
as not to spook the adults. Climbing the 60-foot tower in the
dark with a backpack full of gear was fun (NOT!)—as was
discovering bats in the blind every morning.
FCP: What is your favorite piece of photographic
equipment and favorite photographic resources / websites?
DB: That
has to be my Nikon 600mm telephoto lens. I do 70 percent of my
work with it; it's heavy (204.6 ounces) but you can't beat the
reach. Great for birds in flight!
I buy my photo equipment from B&H and
Adorama. Great prices, reliable and friendly service. For
beginners in photography, any book by John Shaw or Tim
Fitzharris will teach you anything you want to know about
photographing nature. For inspiration, check out
www.naturephotographers.net. Some amazing images! Big-name
photographers' websites are also great for inspiration.

We asked FCP staff…what are you
thankful for?
“I am thankful for my mad cribbage
skills. I'm not one to toot my own horn, but beep, beep. Also, I am
thankful for my mind full of inventions. My latest: a drawer in
the kitchen specifically for pancakes."
—Eric Hanson, designer
“I am grateful for the hill in my
yard that allows me and my kids to go sledding without leaving
home.”
—Linda Netschert, sales and
marketing director
“I’m thankful that I
don’t have to watch any more election ads.”
—Jessica Solberg, editor
“I’m thankful that I have a
sense of humor, otherwise I would be a miserable old
person.”
—Kathy Springmeyer, publications
director
