My name is Dick Friedkin. I live in West Palm Beach where we have lots of birds and other wildlife, including nice alligators. I love to take pictures of these creatures, using mostly a Canon 50D with a Sigma 150-500mm lens. The pictures in this site are fantastic and I want to learn to get as good as some of you all are.
