JÖRG BECKER                PHOTOGRAPHY    

Birds bring me joy. Whether I am stepping into our backyard early in the morning, or trekking through some foreign rainforest, my eyes and ears have developed to be those of a birder. Bird photography encourages patience and mindfulness. You begin to notice subtle changes in the environment like a song carried on the wind, a flash of shadow or light rustle in the leaves. Birding slows me down and gives me a rewarding purpose to spend time in the outdoors.
