Having traveled to five of the seven continents in pursuit of adventure, and the thrill of capturing beautiful images of elusive wild creatures, plus the landscapes and cultures that surround them, Gerry continues to build upon his diverse photo stock from throughout the world. His intense love of nature, since early childhood in New York State, has grown from common backyard insects to endangered species from far-off lands such as Antarctica, Patagonian Chile, Trinidad, Alaska, Central America, Madagascar and The Amazon. Within his large collection of images, that exceeds 70,000 photographs, are birds, insects, mammals, crustaceans, mollusks, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and a great variation of plant life and wildflowers. Among this ever-broadening selection are mountain scenes, tourist destinations, native people, cities and small towns, outdoor sports, night scenes, still lifes, and an assortment of additional subject matter.
