I have just released my new book SANCTUARY, a coffee table photo book of images and stories of some of the 75,000 wild animals rescued by the Wildlife Waystation, a major, non-profit, wildlife rescue and care facility in Southern California. You can preview the entire, 120 page book on the site and read about lions, tigers, wolves, bears, jaguars, leopards, mountain lions, bobcats, birds, and reptiles that have been given a new life by the Wildlife Waystation during its 34 year history.
