Telling visual stories of earth's landscape and the creatures that live here.

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." ~ Henry David Thoreau
Hello
My name is Chad Huff
I'm a photographer based in the pacific northwest, right on the edge of Mount Rainier National Park, in the state of Washington. I've been fascinated with cameras and making visual images ever since my grandmother let me play around with a 1960's Kodak Instamatic. I shot film for many years (Nikon, Olympus) and made the switch to digital when the first digital point and shoot cameras became available (I currently shoot a Nikon D850). I am passionate about wild places and conservation. Since childhood I've been interested in animals, their habitat, and their behavior. When I was 15 I did my Eagle Scout project in the area of waterfowl conservation (I raised the funds for, and built, 50 wood duck nesting boxes and hung them around a state waterfowl refuge near my home in Kansas, and I am still friends with the biologist who oversaw my project to this day). My passion for animals, habitat, and conservation has never faded. I hope my photography moves you to appreciate the world we live in enough to explore it and learn to treasure it.
"There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot." ~ Aldo Leopold
