I understand that my chipmunk photography can seem unbelievable at times, and I’m used to getting questions such as « How did you do that? » and « Is it all Photoshop? »

As this video will show, it’s all happening right there in front of the camera. I get no satisfaction out of a composited photo—the challenge for me is to capture the chipmunk engaged in a real and rather extraordinary situation. And keep in mind that this is a wild chipmunk, not my pet.
