John and Katherine Kotz

I retired after teaching in universities for 40 years and now have the time to spend time on photography and travel, something I (and we) have enjoyed for many years. The photos in this website include many near our home on Kiawah Island, SC, and near Cooperstown, NY, our summer home. Many of the bird photos were taken near our home on Kiawah Island or during trips to the the Galapagos and Africa. Most recent photos are from a safari in Botswana (2012) and trips to Italy, Turkey, and Panama. The photos were taken with Nikon bodies (D300 and more recently D800) with Nikon lenses (16-35 mm f/4, 24-70 mm f/2.8, and 70-200 mm f/2.8). The photo above was taken by a friend and photographer, Marty Bohn, at Middleton Place near Charleston. Email address: johnkotz@mac.com
