This past week I was in Katmai National Park photographing brown bears with filmmaker Abraham Joffe. The bears were wonderful, cooperative models for us & I can’t wait to see the resulting TV special.
I was very excited to get back in the studio for the first time in two years to continue my exploration of the Human Canvas project–this time with a Leica. It germinated in my mind over 20 years ago and I’m not nearly through with it yet. Abraham Joffe and his crew were in from Australia to film the day’s work as well,which was long, tiring and wonderful.
I recently completed an interview with Graeme Green of Curious Animal. Curious Animal is online magazine for Adventure Travel, Photography, Music, Books, Big Issues and Ideas from around the world. He split the interview into two posts.
“I’m as enthusiastic as I was 40 years ago. The big death for a lot of artists is when they run out of enthusiasm, run out of ideas, run out of inspiration.”
I am off to Katmai National Park for a week. Those brown bears are irresistible if you ever get the chance!
On Thursday I will be giving a sneak peak of Earth Is My Witness in the dome at the amazing California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. I am the opening act for their NightLife event, celebrating their first major photography exhibit BigPicture.

Recognizing so much in the way @artwolfe is looking at old paintings and translates it to photography. It’s inspirational! #artwolfelive

Rotella Gallery is pleased to announce the newest addition to their “Open Edition Collection”. The image is appropriately entitled “Happy Go Lucky” and is available in three size options.
It conveys the beauty and innocence of children around the world, and is a perfect compliment to “Enlightenment”.

While I wasn’t so happy with the tour operator on this my second trip to the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, I was able to capture some interesting landscapes and wildlife shots. I was able to concentrate on one of my favorite subjects, abstracts, especially in the glacially carved mountains of Spitsbergen. Also, I wish Vanishing Act didn’t already go to print because I got a couple really good camouflage photos involving a hungry Arctic fox.
This is only a fraction of the photos. To see more visit www.artwolfestock.com.
Some of you may have seen my July 8th post about the tiny hummingbird nest I discovered clinging to a branch on one of my Japanese maples. I was able to get a few more photos before the last of the fledgelings flew the nest. He was a fat little guy and very demanding on his parents!
If you create a natural habitat you soon get wild animals to share the space. I invite you to see my garden up close on July 20th during the West Seattle Garden Tour (WSGT). I will be on hand to greet visitors and sell and sign books as a benefit for WSGT

The WSGT donates net proceeds of the event to support Seattle-based community gardens and other non-profits that promote horticulture, education, or the arts.
I’ve heard from many of you who would like to attend one of my seminars or workshops but have difficulty attending because of where you live. Now’s your chance. I will be giving a free online class Friday, July 18th on CreativeLive. The Art of Nature Photography will give you an inside look at some of my favorite outdoor and scenic photography techniques and learn some new approaches for capturing landscapes as well as the smallest details.
