Some years are publishing years, some are traveling, 2015 was for reshaping the business—a necessity in the ever-changing photography industry. I closed my downtown Seattle gallery and launched this website, focusing my core business online and allowing me the ability to concentrate on other projects, of which there are many.
All the filming that I did in 2014 with Abraham Joffe and the Untitled Film Works crew—in East Africa, Papua New Guinea, Alaska, and here in Seattle—finally came to fruition. Tales by Light is a joint Canon Australia and National Geographic Channel production & I hope it comes to the US soon!
Travel & Photography: The year was bookended by East Africa
While travel slowed somewhat in 2015, I still managed trips to Tanzania (twice), Kenya, Yellowstone National Park (twice), Antarctica, India, Bali, Japan, Iceland, Washington State, Alaska, Svalbard, California, and Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park. The final expedition of the year was to the Danakil Basin of Ethiopia.
Presentations, Gallery Shows, and Articles
I lectured at, among other places, Florida’s Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Fine Art, Seattle’s Benaroya Hall, Portland’s OMSI, and at #OPTIC2015 in New York. Human Canvas took over the Rotella Gallery in Soho for the month of November. DPreview.com published several well-received articles on my experiences photographing emperor penguins, humpback whales, and Iceland.

This all new seminar has been created for photographers who are inspired to go beyond capturing a natural history moment and would rather pursue their creativity and make compelling artistic statements.
In this three part series Art will establish unequivocally that the photograph stands toe to toe with painting, sculpture, and the other prominent forms of art.
This is an intentional journey to discover a new way of seeing and making art through the photographic medium. This full day seminar has been carefully crafted using hundreds of images that support the concepts Art is presenting.
Standing on a little rise an arctic fox basks in the rosy serenity of the setting northern sun of Canada’s Ellesmere Island. I love the contrast of deep blue hues around the fox with the pastel pinks which makes for a very calm and relaxed image.
We are really thrilled with the prints we doing using the Epson Metallic Photo Paper Luster. It has a resin-coated base and a pearl-like luster finish which produces images with high sharpness, excellent dynamic range, and a wide color gamut. “Ellesmere Fox” looks great printed on this paper.
Save 20% on any “Arctic Fox” print purchased this month. They are printed on EPSON Premium Metallic Photo Luster paper using archival EPSON Ultrachrome inks, and I hand sign them with a silver acid-free pen. Get more information about my Fine Art prints here.
To call this trip an adventure is an understatement. In early December I traveled with several friends to the northern region of Ethiopia with Erta Ale volcano as the ultimate goal. Fellow traveler Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape was a wonderful travel companion and he has written a very good travelogue. Needless to say, we did not make it to the volcano for a variety of reasons. In forty years of photography I can count on one hand the number of times I have been sick or just plain stymied on a trip, so I count myself supremely lucky.

This is what we wait for every year. The new unveiling of the color that will dictate our lives for the coming months…
This time Pantone has selected an unprecedented two colors, Rose Quartz and Serenity, as an antidote to modern day stresses. When taken in moderation, they do have a very calming effect.
