IMAGES BY D. S. TAPPAN – featuring the wild places, wildlife photography of Deb Tappan

Photography is an art

It's about finding extra-ordinary

In an ordinary place

- Elliot Erwitt

Welcome to my site of natural history and conservation photography. Invariably the uniqueness and beauty of wild lands always manage to move me. I'm awestruck by their diversity of texture and essence. Therefore, it brings me great joy to share those sights photographically and to nurture a sense of wonder of and devotion for their protection and preservation. I invite you to browse these pages and enjoy your exploration. - Deb

Within my online gallery you'll find a variety of themed image collections categorized by subject or region. I've compiled these portfolios from among the photographs I've taken while wandering and hiking throughout the non-contiguous United States and Canada. New images will continue to be added so check back often. In the meanwhile, spend some time in your favorite place. Don't forget, all images are available for purchase and are copyright protected (see terms for use).

Inspiring Quote

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

You'll find her wildlife images in specific collections such as "Fauna - Wildlife Moments", "Mini-Critters" and "Avian - Of Beaks and Bills". You'll also find them throughout the collections sorted by geographical region. Have fun exploring!
