11.11.11 Community Artists Program
Local Seattle Arts Entrepreneur, Anne Lancaster, has an upcoming event that features 11 artists on November 11, 2011.
The Community Artists Program is a new emerging organization that was started by Anne Lancaster and its purpose is to get local artists in front of local buyers for the purpose of supporting local art. Their motto is “Original Art for All”.
The event will have eleven artists on hand to discuss and demonstrate their work as well as a short video introducing the CAP program.
The event will be held at the Seattle Design Center
Tickets and directions are available on their website:
Food supplied by Herban Feast and Wine by Cadaretta.
The Meyer Wells Gallery at the Seattle Design Center is also showing large prints from Art Wolfe’s Series entitled “Unbridled”.
These are beautiful images of horses Art has photographed on several continents.
Outdoor Photographer November Issue
The November Issue of Outdoor Photographer has several means of expression for me. The cover is Fitz Roy, Argentina. A breathtaking view in this special place called Patagonia. See page 20 for a description.
Next, OP Contributing Editor, Mark Edward Harris, has written a “Workshop Diary” article that describes his experience when he joined up with Jay Goodrich and me on the China workshop this year. This is very helpful for people to get an idea of the daily rhythms that go on during a workshop. There is a lot of work and learning that goes on amid the shuffling between hotels and transportation and meals. It is really great fun.
Finally, I see NIK Software is running an ad for Silver Efex Pro 2 with one of my B&W images from Huang Shan, China.
I’d say I was pretty well covered for November. Thanks, OP!

“Dogs Make Us Human” Available now!
Listen to Jeffrey and Art describe this collaborative project.
“Dogs Make Us Human” is available now!
Review:
I’m giving this book to all my dog loving friends this Christmas. Gorgeous photos by Art Wolfe and lively and emotional text by Jeffrey Masson.
What I like most about this book is that it has avoided the usualy cutesy pictures. Rather it has a kind of multicultural theme. It shows us the universal bond between humans and dogs. With pictures of stone age tribes, asian boat people, African children, and rich snoots on Fifth Avenue.
The publisher compared this book to The Family of Man. That seems entirely appropriate. And it is time to acknowledge that dogs are part of that universal family as well.

AFRICA! Namibia
BLOG: Africa, Sossusvlei, Namibia – Images by Art Wolfe
The lions, leopards and monkeys all show that it is truly Spring with mothers and babies playing with each other.
Just so you don’t worry too much about my safety, the elephants I photographed have been rescued and are habituated to people. They are now free.
Hot News Tip: International workshops in January 2012 to South Africa will be coming up on my workshops website very soon. Stay tuned!
Contact us immediately if you are interested and want to make sure to reserve a place even before the signup is available.
