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:
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!
Bilder von grandioser Ästhetik und faszinierender Schönheit
Art Wolfes Tier- und Naturaufnahmen sind legendär und gelten zu Recht als Kunst. Mit „Animal Art“ öffnet der Meister sein Archiv: Die 160 besten Bilder aus 30 Jahren Fotografie dokumentieren seine Reisen um den Globus und seine Hingabe an die Natur. In begleitenden Texten gestattet Wolfe einen intimen Blick auf den Menschen hinter der Kamera. Eine bildgewaltige Begegnung mit den Lebewesen unserer Erde und ihrem wohl besten Dokumentar.

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.
Preeminent evolutionary biologist and controversial author Richard Dawkins is famous for taking on the difficult issues. We had the honor of working with him a decade ago when he contributed an essay to Art’s masterwork The Living Wild.
The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize for “her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace,” Wangari Maathai passed away on Sunday.
Her Green Belt Movement founded in 1977 has planted more than 30 million and helped nearly 900,000 women gain jobs.
With Green Seattle Partnership she helped plant trees and inspired everyone around her during her visit to Washington in 2009.
I am so excited to be on this trip! The wildlife viewing in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley is tremendous. We saw giraffe and baboon, as well as the colorful bee-eaters which make their nests in cliffsides. The leopard we saw had killed a big female impala and the ungulate was too big for the cat to stow in a tree. So instead, she buried it, which is highly unusual.
Later in the day we came upon a lioness with a wire snare embedded in her neck. Luckily we were able to call the local lion research team who responded quickly because they happened to be in a nearby part of the park. We waited with the lion until they arrived. They then darted the snared female and we helped with the processing of data and removal of snare. I got to be right in the middle of the action and hit these shots as things got a little tense as the lioness’ temperature spiked. We took all the ice from our cooler box and pushed it against her back to keep her temperature from getting critical–I shot this moment from above.
The workshops I lead in the Olympic National Park always seem to bring out the best in everyone at all skill levels. The late summer fires in Washington make for breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. But it’s always the details that are the most interesting: backlit seaweed clinging to rocks battered by the surf.
We’ll be posting a gallery of workshop participants’ photos soon so watch for it!
