Welcome to my website! My name is Michael Crawford. I am a self-taught nature photographer living in Olmsted Township, Ohio. I have over 25 years of experience taking photographs that capture the beauty of Ohio's parks and nature preserves.  All photographs were created by me using a variety of different types of films and digital formats. AI was not used to create any of my images. I only use traditional backroom techniques on my computer (crop, exposure, dodge/burn) to edit my photos. I may at times also add saturation to a photo only to bring the image back to the way I envisioned the scene prior to taking the shot.
