Safari Dust

I'm Kathy Pudelko. I have always want to be a wildlife photographer. When I was young I couldn't figure out how to get started as a photographer.....so I went with my passion of teaching and coaching. I had a great career and loved working with students of all ages. I coached high school, and junior college athletes, that experience gave me a lifetime of meaningful moments. I still get together with some of my former players and we talk about "the good old days".

When COVID came, I chose to retire and followed the path of taking pictures and traveling.

Since then, I've gone on a few trips. I even managed to travel a bit before I retired.

Capturing animals in their natural homes, doing what they do best....

Every photo you see on my website is real not AI-generated, not overly retouched. I try to let nature speak for itself and tell their story.

I hope the stories and adventures i have been on will help inspire you to look and explore wildlife in your own way.
