About this image
I found this large Orb Weaver spider, coincidentally, on the back of a Halloween decoration. I immediately ran to get my camera and macro lens to capture this beautiful, yet creepy creature. She sat still for me the whole time I was shooting... the perfect model.
The typical orb-weaver spiders (family Araneidae) are the most common group of builders of spiral wheel-shaped webs often found in gardens, fields and forests. Their common name is taken from the round shape of this typical web, and the taxon was formerly also referred to as the Orbiculariae.
Orb-weavers have eight similar eyes, hairy or spiny legs, and no stridulating organs. The Araneidae family is cosmopolitan, including many well-known large or brightly colored garden spiders. The 3,006 species in 168 genera worldwide make Araneidae the third-largest family of spiders known. The orb-weavers include over 10,000 species and make up about 25% of spider diversity.

What my clients say
Thanks Adam for capturing the Jens Jensen Winding Road. My wife and I have been searching for the last few years for some art that really took us back to Door County. This jumped out at us immediately. Now it sits in a place of prominence at our home. We’ll keep looking through your work for more from DC. Steve & Deb Winterhack

We choose a canvas print from our favorite place to relax- Door County. It’s simply gorgeous and reminds us of more relaxing time preCovid. The service and quality is excellent and would recommend Adam to anyone.
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
