“Photographing wildlife is a great challenge that I have embraced with compassion so that I may share what I witness with others through my photographs. My intent is to allure you to a point of curiosity through eye-to-eye contact with nature,” said Rineer, a critically acclaimed photographer whose work has been chosen by National Geographic for the magazine’s photo library, featured in Readers Digest, the Washington Post, local newspapers and magazines as well as in several published books. Rineer also is a member of a National Geographic research panel regarding nature photography.
His study and photography of wolves, especially those inhabiting the sanctuary, has been a priceless experience, said Rineer, who strongly supports the efforts of the nonprofit rescue group and is a volunteer tour guide for the sanctuary.
