Lon is the author of the well-received book, “Bowhunter’s Guide To Accurate Shooting” and co-photographer of the acclaimed eagle book, "Sovereign Wings."  His work has been illustrated in National Geographic and Sierra Club books; Audubon, Impact, Kodak, and Tide-Mark calendars, many advertisements and countless magazines including: Alaska, Audubon, BBC Wildlife, Bowhunter, Bowhunting World, Ducks Unlimited, Field and Stream, National Geographic, Outdoor Life, Petersen’s Hunting, Ranger Rick and Sports Afield.

After living all over the world as a Navy photographer, Lon spent 17 years living in Alaska. Nine years ago, Lon moved back to his home town, Spokane Washington.

Lon says he's at his best in nature.

"It's not like a light switch, but when I slip on my outdoor gear and head into the wilderness to photograph or hunt, I become a different being.  I sort of melt into nature, physically and emotionally.

"I've enjoyed the outdoors as long as I can remember.  I guess that's why I ended up in Alaska and the Northwest.  The inclement weather makes my work difficult at times, especially the lighting.  But, on those days when it is nice, I really kick into a photographic high.  And, that's when I make my strongest images.

"My goal is to communicate with every photo I make.  Whether it's conveying closeness with a sea otter and pup, the majesty of an eagle, or people enjoying the outdoors, I hope to evoke emotion or inform.  If you smile or gain insight into the wonders of nature from my images, then I have succeeded."
