We certainly don’t feel like sleeping much because there is really no night here at all at this time of year. However, this makes it very difficult to get up in the morning! Coming soon: icebergs!

You’ve probably heard many photographers talk about getting shots during the “magic hour”, other people may call this “at sunset”. Learn how to get the best sunset photos, shot on location in Baja.

BLOG: Iceland Workshop 7/11 #1 – Images by Art Wolfe
Although I have spend nearly all my time teaching the first couple days of my latest international workshop, I have managed to get a few shots of my students working in geyser steam, the beautiful waterfalls, and stubby Icelandic ponies.
Want some fun? Tune into TWiT.TV (This week in Tech) and watch TWiT Photo with Hosts Catherine Hall and Leo Laporte.
Art Wolfe is the guest. This was a lively interview on June 28, 2011.
San Fransisco Pride Parade Slideshow from Art Wolfe on Vimeo.
The mood of a parade and festival make for an excellent opportunity to get fun portraits, great shots of children, and even some wonderful dog photos.
A slideshow from the Pride festival in San Fransisco, California in June of 2011, with Art’s thoughts on the experience.
Today I have a photo in the New York Times illustrating the latest work by the University of Washington’s Center for Conservation Biology in the oil sands area of Alberta, Canada.
Read the article in the NYT:
It seems that, once again, humans and human activity, such as roads and environmental exploitation, are more of a threat to large ungulates than wolves.
The Conservation Canines of the Center for Conservation Biology are providing much needed data that gives a more accurate picture of what is happening to Caribou and Wolves.
UPDATE! – As a follow-up to this post from June 23, just wanted to say GREAT JOB, SEATTLE!!
Over $3.5 million dollars in 17 hours was raised for nonprofits in our area. CLICK for more details.
Give BIG, Seattle! Today through midnight you have the opportunity to stretch your donation dollars by giving to your favorite local nonprofits through The Seattle Foundation.
It’s a great time to support those local environmental groups that work so hard to keep our city and state green and clean!

BLOG: Solstice Parade 2011! – Images by Art Wolfe
The Solstice Parade is a great Northwestern tradition. Every year it takes place in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood, the self-styled “Center of the Universe.” It is a rich and colorful venue and a great place to take photos. Last year I was able to get a few shots that made it into my book coming out this fall “Dogs Make Us Human.” Now I am working on a new book which is a look at children from all over the world. It wouldn’t be complete without a photo or two from the center of the universe!
For years I have supported The Wilderness Society’s mission to protect wilderness and inspire Americans to care for our wild places. This year my image of mountain goats in Glacier National Park is the cover of TWS’s 2010 annual report.

Stay in touch with conservation issues here. I support this work.
