In March 2012, CU displayed a collection of Doty's bird photographs in the university arts gallery. Doty was first introduced to photography by his high school principal. His first camera was a used Ricoh twin lens reflex. He has recorded sixty thousand photographic images using slides, negatives and digital technology. "Photographing birds presents distinctive challenges because sometimes they won't stay still or tolerate humans in their space. Good photographs are the result of skill, patience, access and luck. ... There are few human endeavors that call forth such a range of effort like photography ... because it can be creative, technical, scientific, propagandistic, inspirational. Design, form, color, physics, chemistry, art, history, nature and imagination are all elements to be explored with photography," Doty said in a 2012 interview.<ref name=columbiamagazine/>
