Paul Blasko founded GOD=S WONDERS IN NATURE in 1985 for the entertainment, education, and inspiration of those with whom he can share his photos and outdoor experiences.  Photography, for him, was a natural adjunct to a long time pastoral ministry in upstate New York.  Believing that God reveals His presence and power in His creation and reveals His love and grace in the Bible, he has lived much of his life - at least figuratively - with the Bible in one hand and a camera in the other.

Born to Russian immigrant parents in Atlantic City, NJ, he was raised there and in nearby Northfield where the shore and farm environments left an indelible imprint on him.

He is a freelance nature and wildlife photographer, selling some of his photos for posters, magazines, church bulletin covers, greeting cards, post cards and other products.  He has produced five multi-media nature and hunting programs which he has shown to hundreds of audiences in most eastern states and beyond.  Sportsmen=s groups, nature clubs, churches, schools and other groups have appreciated the sincerity of his love of nature and the professionalism of his photos and presentations.

Living in upstate New York has given him access to the variety of flora and fauna of the northeast.  He also travels widely and regularly supplements this collection with scenic photos from all across the country, including Alaska - his favorite home-away-from-home.  More than a dozen lengthy trips to Alaska has furnished him with the photos and experiences for his programs on hunting, brown bears, and a comprehensive overview of America=s Alast frontier.@
