Perfect Timing Photos: A Close Encounter With A Minnesota Black Wolf

Black Timber Wolf photographed at a wildlife reserve in Northern Minnesota.

“My name is Conrad Tan. I currently reside in Northern California in the San Francisco Bay Area. Photography was a late starting hobby for me. But unlike all other hobbies from my younger days, this one seems to have stuck. What began from a desire to look at a wallpaper I created myself has become an obsession of sorts.” describes himself passionate photographer.

“I am consumed with creating the perfect photograph, whatever that may be. I tend to struggle with every image I create because I believe I can always make it better. I guess that is what keeps me coming back. There are so many disciplines in this hobby I’ve yet to try. I also love to help other photographers if I can. I think it is important to give back to the hobby that’s given me so much happiness.”

Photographer truly captured the essence of this beautiful mysterious creature..
