His degree in Wildlife Science from Texas A&M University and his experience managing public lands are a huge bonus for the nature photography profession. His photographs have appeared in National Wildlife, Natural History, Audubon, Sports Afield, Birder's World, Texas Parks & Wildlife, Texas Highways, Birds and Blooms, and many other magazines, books and calendars.

Larry is also a past winner of the Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photography contest. He conducts several instructional photography tours and workshops each year.
