About me

Introduction	I’m a birder, bird photographer, and a university researcher/teacher of digital media & culture. These parts of my life are becoming entangled. In recent years, my birding has intensified to the point of becoming obsessive. I know other birders will understand this obsession. As a photographer, I’ve photographed birds and nature for over two decades. What was once a serious hobby has become a way of life, and now the subject of my research. As an academic, I research digital culture and pay special attention to the creation and sharing of information by members of online communities and social media streams. And here’s where my interests in birding and bird photography entangle with my research.
