“
think I just got the shot,” whispered Gary Kramer as he scrolled through the screen on his camera. We were laying side-by-side, photographing ducks last winter. “Of what, pintails?” I came back with a smirk. “Yep, I have lots of pintail images, but that was the perfect drake and hen shot
for the book,” Kramer announced as he zoomed in for a closer look. It was one of multiple shoots I joined Kramer on last winter while he wrapped up the biggest undertaking by one man when it comes to documenting the world’s waterfowl. Kramer’s book features his photographs of 165 of the 167 waterfowl species in the world. (GARY KRAMER)
