Photographer: Sean Fitzgerald, Dallas, Texas
Image Title: Dead Coyote on Fencepost
Category: Environmental Issues

Technical Details: Canon EOS 1v, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 lens, Kodak 100VS film, 1/125 second at f/16, with fill flash used on the coyote
Location: Highway near Stephenville, Texas
Description: While traveling along a Texas back road, I saw this dead coyote hanging from a fencepost, its feet bound by a leg snare. I understand that some ranchers believe that hanging the dead coyote in plain sight sends a message to other coyotes to stay away. I doubt that it works, but I do believe it sends a message. To me, the coyote has a messianic quality, crucified for alleged "sins" against man but perhaps representing our greater sins against nature itself.

I strive for images that are simple, graphic, evocative, and surreal. I believe you should judge images with your heart; technique is just a tool, not the ultimate goal. I find myself repeatedly drawn to nature and wildlife and the impact of man on both.

My images have been displayed at various galleries and museums and in various publications such as PhotoMedia, Professional Photographer, Outdoor Photographer, The New York Times, and Audubon Nature Calendars. With a partner, I have finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photo Contest (www.valleylandfund.com). On my own, I won the 2001 Coastal Bend Wildlife Photography contest (www.wildlifephotocontest.com). A 2001 issue of Professional Photographer magazine featured me as their monthly cover artist. At the 2001 Fotofusion Photography Festival, I was chosen by Art Wolfe to receive the festival's Rising Star Photographer Award. You can see more of my images on my web site.
