Nick Fain is a photographer primarily focused on the Wildlife, Nature & Landscapes of Marin. Nick has a background in advertising, editorial, & whatever else found its way in front of the lens. Half a lifetime ago, diving & underwater photography was the primary obsession. As other life forms evolved over time from undersea to terrestrial and above, so has this photographer (and the gear he sold both kidneys to afford). Yes, photography can become an addiction -which Nick is proud to admit.

What could be more important than waiting for a napping Bobcat to awaken for a golden hour portrait? And when fog suddenly obscures perfect light on a sunset seascape, it simply calls for another visit on a better day.

Does nature know how beautiful it is? The answer is an absolute YES. Why else would exotic species display magnificent, ornate colors, feathers and rituals for mating -to tantalize the eye of the observer! Old growth Redwood trees silently display their grandeur in a noble effort to deter loggers (scientific fact!) Thus, it is our inherent mission to walk softly through the forest and preserve light & time in photographs. And you can aid this noble calling by purchasing the prints an artist has lovingly prepared, so they can continue their objective (without having to sell any more kidneys).
