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.
I have judged the first Compelling Image Contest at ShutterLoveOnline. There were many terrific entries and here are the results. Special congratulations to Paul Leatherbury and Werner Priller!

I am pleased to announce the addition of Denis Glennon of Iconic Images as a new associate instructor at Art Wolfe Workshops.
Denis & I have traveled quite a bit together—to China, Australia, and South Africa—and I have enjoyed every minute of it! Later this year I have two more sold out trips with him that I am really looking forward to. His latest workshops are listed on the international photography tours page.
