Mario is more than just a photographer or a naturalist. He sees the beauty of every moment and is deeply committed to capturing that in his pictures. He also does all that he can to preserve the environment in all its wonder. His passion is in the beauty of creation and his photography is a means of teaching about the natural world of plants, animals and landscape while also being an expression of his faith and use of his spiritual gifts. I hope that as you look at his pictures you see what he sees when he looks "through the lens" and also a bit of his heart. Stephanie - his wife.
