About

Feeding my curiosity for history and my interest in photography, I further developed my love of the natural world that has since become the primary focus of my life.

My goal is to use photography to bring history to life. I will give you a sense of understanding history and hopefully bring the stories to life! Viewing the landscape, historical markers and wildlife will help me share with you the fascination I feel when delving into the past.

EUGENE L BRILL is a nature and landscape photographer. I’m a dedicated naturalist volunteer, as well as an avid gardener, and photographer. I do not speak in taxonomic groupings, species and genera, but can communicate clearly with “Joe Public” in language everyone understands. I love to share knowledge and my photography, and I believe Nature Deficit Disorder (NDD) is real, agree that “forest bathing” (fully clothed, of course . . .) makes us happier, healthier, and more creative.
