“Hey! I'm Thomas Shahan, an artist and macrophotographer from Oklahoma. In my spare time over the past few years, I've been shooting portraiture of local arthropods. Why would I devote countless hours to tramping through forests, fields and the like searching for insects and spiders?

Often, all it takes is simply inspecting their lives on a closer level to turn repulsion to reverence”. – Thomas Shahan
