because the waiting, getting to know, becoming friends with,
allowing the environment, its inhabitants and you to adapt to one

(as you have with your patients)
will produce a different image
than popping in and grabbing what you find and disappearing.

not a "better" photograph
(totally subjective)

yet, definitely a "different" photograph.

I've not seen anything like this fellows work
according to all reviews - the huge prints take your breath away.

It is unlikely that anyone can duplicate his vision.

It's all a bit more than simply eccentric and cute.

He's visually saying something completely different about:
birds, environment and how we all interact;
than our wild life Luggers.
