Digital Nature Photography and Wildlife Photographs by Mark B. Bartosik

Welcome to my web site, MBB Photography.

Visitors can find here links to my pages where I will try to share my joy in photography, links to my special projects and also information about myself. I hope a few of you will enjoy my photographs and perhaps find some useful information as well. Even if only one visitor will find this site useful, my mission will be accomplish.

Thank you for your visit and I hope to see you back in the future.

Best regards,

Mark B. Bartosik

This site is going to be under constant changes and new developments. Its main purpose is not to show my best or winning images but rather to present photo essays about life of many species holding my strong interest in study of their life history, interesting behaviors or just my admiration of their beauty. In some cases, when rushing uploads of new pages, please excuse me for many grammar mistakes in captions, English is not my first language. Those mistakes will be corrected as soon as possible, or better said, when my friends and I will have time to edit my writings. As spending time in the field, observing animals in their natural environment and trying to document those observations on photos takes priority it might take me a long time to edit and correct grammar mistakes in description notes. If for any reason you find it unacceptable, I will not feel offended at all when you, dear visitor, email me corrections :):):)
