Bill Berggren is an accomplished nature and wildflower photographer. After many years using 35 mm and medium format film he found his way into digital photography and videography, where it appears that he'll be stuck until some marvelous new technology is developed.

Bill seeks out and photographs commonplace as well as unusual flowers and plants, with or without their insect partners. His focus is on nature photography in and around southeastern Wisconsin; although he's been known to find his way into northern Illinois on occasion. Over the years he's photographed most of southeastern Wisconsin's indigenous wildflowers as well as those of several surrounding states.

"We are blessed with diverse ecologies which include dunes, marsh, prairie and woods, as well as creeks, rivers and the ever changing face of Lake Michigan ... all in close proximity," said Bill. "Each of these provides its own challenges for a nature photographer."

And sure enough, his daylight hours, summer and winter, often find him wading a marsh in the morning and wandering a dusty prairie trail in the afternoon.
