Books from Wild Maine Photography
In April of 2014, I was privileged to observe and film a family of foxes living under an abandoned shed in my hometown of Lincoln, Maine. Amused by the antics of the baby fox kits in my photos, my wife encouraged me to write a book. This became my first book,"What Do Baby Foxes Do?" With help from the staff at J.S. McCarthy Printers in Augusta, Maine, who also create my cards, I designed the layout, and this high-quality soft cover book was put to print at their factory. This was the first of eight books I have published with this excellent Maine-based company, and I am happy to be in the process of writing more books sharing the wildlife and way of life that we enjoy here in Maine.
