Feathered friendsAS a child, Rico Leffanta was raised in rural Utah and Arizona. It was a literal living-off-the-land existence. "I grew up in the wild west, where we had to hunt for our food," Leffanta says. "My grandfather was a famous hunter, and I learned about aiming (and taking) that one shot."Interestingly enough, it was this lifestyle that led to Leffanta's lifelong love of photography. "The problem with shooting a gun is that with one shot, something dies, and it's all pau," he says. "A photographer can keep on shooting (their camera). "I always say that if parents gave their children cameras instead of guns, we'd live in a different world." Leffanta knows -- "I got my first Brownie back in the 1940s, when I was a child."
