Equestrian Culture Magazine

Cowboys are sillhouetted in dust their horses have kicked up on a ride in Fazenda Rio Negro, Brazil.

My equine photographs were featured in the Fall issue of Equestrian Culture.

The latest issue of this beautiful magazine is now online at equestrianculturemag.com

Highlights from my Winter Newsletter

Dear Friends,

I write this from aboard the Akademik Ioffe as we cruise along the Antarctic Peninsula. I am here with Denis Glennon, Shem Campion and Frans Lanting and having a terrific time. Denis offers excellent travel experiences and if you haven’t looked at his offerings lately, you should! Coming up in February is his Mystical Myanmar Tour with Gavriel Jecan and local guide Win Kyaw Zan. Change is happening in Myanmar at an unchecked pace and I recommend seeing it sooner rather than later. Also, this is a great time of year to get away to an exotic and warm part of the world.

Earth Is My Witness has been garnering accolades from top publications; among many features, American Photo has named it a “Best Photo Book of the Year” and it is an Editor’s Pick in O, The Oprah Magazine, “destined for keepsake status.” It is also a featured item on Breakthrough Photography’s Kickstarter campaign. Be part of helping to launch a new company and support a young entrepreneur in his drive to create new and better ultra slim filters. I have been using them for several months now and I’m really impressed with their quality.

Lit by lanterns, fishermen along the shores of the Li River prepare their cormorants for an evening of fishing.  A tradition unique to Guangxi in south central China, fishermen have always trained the cormorants to dive after and catch fish attracted to the light of the lantern.

You may have seen the short feature on Seattle’s KING5 News I did with Environmental Reporter Gary Chittim. I cannot stress how important it is to get out and reconnect with nature; it certainly keeps me grounded and much less stressed.

If you are in Seattle this month we have signed copies of Earth Is My Witness on hand, which would make any enthusiastic traveler, photographer, or art lover a thoughtful holiday gift along with tickets to the Earth is My Witness Presentation at Benaroya Hall in April. I would like to offer you a free Earth Is My Witness calendar with purchase of the Earth Is My Witness book (as long as supplies last) by using this coupon code in the store: witnesscal2015

Happy Holidays,

Art Wolfe

DPReview Interview

As part of DPReview’s Live event earlier this month, I sat down with Barnaby so he could ask me some questions about my work, vision and philosophy. They’ve posted the video, taped at CreativeLive, for those who didn’t catch it live.

Breakthrough Photography Launches New Ultra Slim Filters

Just under 3 weeks left to get in on these breakthrough filters at a discount and be part of helping to launch a new company!

I’ve been using these filters for several months already and I love them. I’m really impressed with their quality and the optics – and with the young entrepreneur who saw complacency in the market and was willing to go up against entrenched competition with a better mouse trap. That takes some guts and he pulled it off.

Read more about them on DP Review’s article.

Earth Is My Witness in American Photo

In their December issue American Photo magazine has selected Earth Is My Witness as a “Best Photo Book of the Year.”

See the October article HERE.

Wolfe’s opus is a conservationist manifesto, reflecting the vast diversity of nature and humankind throughout the world — with few signs of modern society — in a glorious wash of colorful imagery.

Pushkar Camel Fair

Now is the time of year for the Pushkar Camel Fair and here is a look back when I was filming there for my TV show Travels to the Edge. I did an audio postcard for PRI’s The World, which they used as an answer to the Geo Quiz.

A few of the images from that trip are featured in Earth Is My Witness.
