SUMMARY:Wild Lives Presentation at the Mid Atlantic Photo Visions Expo!
DESCRIPTION:Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris)\, Bandhavgarh National Park\, Madhya Pradesh\, India\nA tiger crosses a clearing in the dense forest in central India.  This is one of my favorite tiger shots simply because of the elegant position of this powerful cat.  The shoulder muscles are very much in evidence.  China’s burgeoning economy has escalated the illegal trade of tiger parts\, so tigers have become increasingly endangered throughout Asia.  India’s efforts to combat poaching and manage wildlife habitat represent the last remaining hope for these beautiful animals.\n\nCanon EOS-1Ds Mark II; Canon EF 70-200 mm lens; f/2.8 @ 1/800 second; ISO 500\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				USA\, Wyoming\, Yellowstone National Park\, gray wolves (Canis lupus)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Japan\, Hokkaido\, red fox (Vulpes vulpes)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Mexico\, Quintana Roo\, Yucatan Peninsula\, Bancho Chinchorro Biosphere Reserve\, American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus)\n\nIUCN redlist status Vulnerable\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Japan\, Hokkaido\, Steller’s sea eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				USA\, California\, Monterey Bay \, sea otter (Enhydra lutris)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Hippopotamus\, Serengeti National Park\, Tanzania\n\nCanon EOS-1N/RS; Canon EF 600mm lens; f/5.6 @ 1/125 second; Fujichrome Velvia film\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Few of Madagascar’s inhabitants are as cute as sifaka lemurs\, including these three huddled together for warmth. The island’s nighttime temperatures drop precipitously in the desert regions. Sifakas are great leapers\, bouncing from tree to tree like pinballs. Their legs are ill-suited to walking so they skip sideways when moving on the ground.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Brown bear sow and three cubs\, Katmai National Park\, Alaska\, USA\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Lake Natron region\, Tanzania\, Greater flamingos\n\nGreater flamingos rely on the salt lakes of the Rift Valley as one of their few consistent breeding grounds in East Africa. Lake Natron is home to organisms that manage to thrive in the high salinity and give the water rich and varied hues.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) and Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus)\, Katavi National Park\, Tanzania\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes)\, San Juan Island National Historical Park\, Washington \, wildv2\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Polar bear (Ursus maritimus)\, Wapusk National Park\, Manitoba\, Canada\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Chile\, Patagonia\, guanaco (Lama guanicoe)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Japanese macaques huddle for warmth\, Nagano\, Honshu Island\, Japan\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Canada\, British Columbia\, Great Bear Rainforest\, Kermode bear\, sometimes called the spirit bear (Ursus americanus kermodei)\, a subspecies of the American black bear\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				USA\, Alaska\, Katmai National Park\, brown bear (Ursus arctos) fishes for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Koala and baby (Phascolarctos cineraeus)\nKangaroo Island\, South Australia\nOn Australia’s Kangaroo Island\, 14 meters above the ground\, a koala cradles its baby on a limb of a giant eucalyptus tree. To get this shot and its unusual perspective\, I climbed the tree\, keeping myself concealed behind the trunk. The koalas were sleeping so soundly on this chilly morning that I was able to approach to within half a meter.  I selected a 17-35mm wide-angle lens for two reasons. First\, it is easy to hand hold while balancing on a branch. Second\, I wanted to capture a “sense of place” only a wide-angle lens can.\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Botswana\, Mashatu Game Reserve\, Burchell’s zebra (Equus quagga burchellii)\n				\n		\n\nWild Lives is a celebration of the extraordinary diversity of species that inhabit the planet. Some are common\, some rare\, and many are conservation success stories\, species that have been brought back from the edge of extinction. \nOver his forty-year career\, Art Wolfe has photographed many species that were once on endangered species lists\, but are now flourishing (such as the bald eagle and humpback whale). These recoveries are an uplifting testament to the resilience of life when it is given a chance. \nThroughout this presentation Art Wolfe recounts his recent works and inspiring discoveries in the process of routinely pushing his craft. Through his beautiful photographs we get to follow Art as he shoots for projects in photographically-rich locations. \nThis lavishly produced work spans the globe\, bringing the beauty of the planet’s fast-disappearing landscapes\, wildlife\, and cultures into stunning focus. Uniquely conceived and undeniably breathtaking\, this elegantly crafted production will take you on an adventure around the world. \nWild Lives books will be available for purchase at the event\, and Art will be happy to personalize your copy. \nReserve Your Spot Today \nBook Description: From amphibians and reptiles to mammals and birds\, Wild Lives portrays an earthly aesthetic millions of years in the making. Wolfe has photographed more than 500 species in 60 countries\, and the never-before-seen work in Wild Lives forms his most comprehensive\, globe-spanning book of photography he has ever published. \nPresentation Format  \n12:30pm Doors Open \nOfficial Presentation \n\n1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.\n\nBook Signing \n\n2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.\n\n  \nFollowing the presentation Art Wolfe will be available to sign books at a book signing station.
