Johsel Namkung 1919-2013
Johsel Namkung’s work was revelatory to me. His work was art and the rhythms of nature permeated it in sophisticated simplicity as only a master can achieve.
In Search of Orcas

British Columbia and the San Juans July 2013 – Images by Art Wolfe
My friends and I had a great time wandering around various parts of the Salish Sea in search of orca whales. While we did finally spot 8 transient whales on our adventure it takes either really good light or unusual behaviors such as spy hopping and breaching the surface to make the photo and alas we had neither that day. To really photograph orcas takes a bit of luck (which I often have) and a lot of time (which I never have). I have been fortunate enough to see them in Antarctica, Argentina, New Zealand, Norway, and Alaska and I was hoping to have some shots of them in my own back yard for my next book project but it wasn’t to be this time around.

Brazil: Scarlet Ibis – Images by Art Wolfe
Due to limited connectivity, I am only able to upload a few photos from my current trip to Brazil. The last time I photographed scarlet ibis was in the early 1990s for my book Migrations. It is terrific having the opportunity again to capture these birds with superior technology.
