About Glenn McCrea

As a kid who had the run of 26 acres in the Ohio countryside, I developed an early fascination with nature. By the third grade, when I learned I was near-sighted and was fitted with glasses, I had become most intrigued with those creatures that I could hold in my hands and examine closely. I have been interested in the details of the natural world since that time. My tactile orientation is probably also related to this desire to pick up and study the world around me. Many of the images presented here, then, are of creatures and objects that I can study close at hand.
