| Jeff Larsen started his career as a writer and photographer in the mid-seventies. During his years in the newspaper business he won a number of photography awards for photojournalism and eventually ended up writing and photographing a weekly travel column for a major daily newspaper in Seattle Washington. His travels took him all over the Pacific Northwest and in 2006 he retired as a journalist and took some time away from photography. Then in the spring of 2008 he launched back into photography -- this time in the natural world rather than the unnatural world of the newspaper business. Subsequently Larsen focused on bird photography where he can utilize his skills honed during a long stretch as a sports photographer for a daily newspaper. Besides his focus on Pacific Northwest Birds, Larsen has travelled and photographed birds in Panama and Mexico. His work had been featured in the Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspapers, as well as Audubon Washington, Cornell Ornithology Lab and Birding World magazine. |
