I took to the skies to capture some shots of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s great natural wonders & now it is part of the largest marine park encompassing 1.2 million square miles of ocean surrounding the continent. It’s always good news to hear of a preservation of our planet of this proportion.

Last year I traveled extensively with cinematographer Abraham Joffe and the Untitled Films Works crew, filming in East Africa, Papua New Guinea, Alaska and here in Seattle. This work has come to fruition in “Tales By Light” produced by Canon Australia and National Geographic Channel.
These spectacular paintings of the powerful Wondjina were created 5000 years ago. The figures are life size or even larger and are cloud and rain spirits, the arcs of color around their heads depict lightning, clouds, and rain.
The Kimberley cruise workshop with PODAS was a great success. The limestone river gorges are spectacular and make for mind-bending reflections. One highlight was a helicopter ride to photograph estuarine abstracts.
This Workshop has just been announced by PhaseOne for their PODAS (PhaseOne Digital Artists Series) Workshops. This Tour promises to be the The Ultimate Luxury Photography Cruise.
We travel aboard the True North and have unparalleled access to the incredible landscape of this Paradise on Earth.
The ultimate location with the best accommodations utilizing PhaseOne digital medium format photographic equipment. Wow!
Instructors for this tour are Art Wolfe, Michael Reichmann and Christian Fletcher.
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is one of the world’s great natural wonders & now it is going to be part of the largest marine park encompassing 1.2 million sq miles of ocean surrounding the continent. In this age of economic peril, it is such good news to hear of a preservation of our planet of this proportion.
There are a ton of articles out there on it. Here are a few links to follow:
One of his favorite locations, Art has revisited Devils’s Marbles south of Tennant Creek. It’s famous for the gigantic granite boulders arrayed across a the flat landscape.
