One Earth - One People : The title truly reflects what I experience during my photoshoots - Being one with nature, sometimes very deep in the woods, others closer to civilization - My heart pounding with excitement or fear - And most of the time surrounded by no human beings.

One Earth · One People is about the sense of place - Its beauty - Its feelings - The spirit of the location. My intent is to show what's happening in this environment - Show details - Tell a story - And hope that my images get you closer to One Earth · One People.

My collection of images was photographed in Alaska - A magical place full of surprises. I have traveled to the same locations for years and never captured or saw the mystique of the light twice the same. In a blink of the eyes, the scene is transformed - Nature is displaying a new facet - Wildlife has moved on - Intimate moments passed. But after each click, there is excitement and hope of accomplishment of my intent - Exploration - Investigation with a purpose of bringing an image back.

And there are these serendipitous moments, like The Grizzly Bears at Sunrise, The Caribou in Foliage, where everything comes together. These are the moments, where nature "makes an image" for you - Where your spirit is in awe - And you feel that emotional connection.
 
I hope that One Earth · One People will let you immerse yourself in these magical moments.

Migrating Birds (Merced National Wildlife Refuge) : Merced Refuge, located in California's northern San Joaquin Valley, is critically important to wintering waterfowl, and attracts large concentrations of ducks, geese, and lesser sandhill cranes. 

Over 2,000 acres of seasonal and semi-permanent wetlands are extensively managed to produce natural waterfowl food plants such as wild millet and swamp timothy. Thousands of ducks (primarily pintails), green-winged teal, and an impressive variety of shorebirds and wading birds, use the wetland habitat. 

The refuge hosts up to 15,000 lesser sandhill cranes, the largest population in the Central Valley. Peak populations occur during November. A mixture of up to 100,000 geese (Ross', snow, white-fronted, and cackling Canada geese) use refuge marsh and croplands during November to March.

Grebes (Courtship Ritual) : 
Worldwide, there are 22 species of grebes, aquatic diving birds similar (though not related) to loons and auks. Seven, including the clark's and western (photographed below), are found in the United States. Also known as "helldivers," the birds are roughly the size of ducks, but share none of their affinity for flying, which grebes do clumsily and almost exclusively to migrate. With lobed feet on legs set far back on their bodies, grebes are built for swimming and diving.



During the spring, western and clark's grebes perform spectacular courtship dances. In the “rushing” display, the mating pair swim side-by-side with their wings held back, their long necks arched, and their yellow beaks angled upward. They swim so quickly that their bodies are pushed up out of the water and they appear to run across the surface. This courtship ritual functions as a reproductive isolating mechanism, one way of preventing the grebes from exchanging genetic material with birds of other species.



Once the courtship is over, the female will lay two to six eggs. Both male and female take turns to warm up and turn the eggs. It takes just over 20 days for the eggs to hatch.


If you are interested in photographing the grebes, please join me at the photography workshop on May 8-10, 2009.

Hummingbirds : Photographing hummingbirds got me really excited. Over a 6 months period, I observed various species of hummingbirds and learned their patterns. As a result, the combination of wildlife and art photography did produce lively images.

All images were taken in a natural setting without flash or other setup. The lighting and predictability of their positions added tremendous complexity to the photoshoot. At the end of the day, it did pay off as the images really show the natural behavior of the hummingbirds.

Photographs are individually printed, backboarded and matted on archival material.
To purchase photograph, please contact Modernbook Gallery (www.modernbook.com)

All hummingbirds are limited edition of 25.

=============================================================================

There is no group of birds more mysterious and fascinating than owls. The loudmouths of the raptor world, they peep, trill, toot, bark, growl, shriek, whistle chittle, whoop, chuckle, boom and buzz. Indeed, very few actually “hoot”. They have become the stuff of lore and legend – from the Roman myth that an owl foot could reveal secrets to the First Nations belief that owl feather could give a newborn better night vision. But the truth about owls is much more exciting.

These large owls breed on the Arctic tundra, where females lay a clutch of 3 to 11 eggs. Clutch size depends upon the availability of food, and in particularly lean times a usually monogamous pair of owls may not breed at all. Parents are territorial and will defend their nests against all comers—even wolves. 
Young owls, especially males, get whiter as they get older. Females are darker than males, with dusky spotting, and never become totally white. Some elderly males do become completely white, though many retain small flecks of dusky plumage.
The snowy owl is a patient hunter that perches and waits to identify its prey before soaring off in pursuit. Snowy owls have keen eyesight and great hearing, which can help them find prey that is invisible under thick vegetation or snow covered. The owls deftly snatch their quarry with their sharp talons.

A snowy owl's preferred meal is lemmings—many lemmings. An adult may eat more than
1,600 lemmings a year or three to five every day. The birds supplement their diet with rabbits, rodents, birds, and fish.

These magnificent owls sometimes remain year-round in their northern breeding grounds, but they are frequent migrants to Canada, the northern United States, Europe, and Asia.
Lemming availability may determine the extent of southern migration, when owls take up summer residence on open fields, marshes, and beaches.

If you are interested in learning their behavior and photographing these amazing creatures, join us for the next snowy owl workshop (http://incredibletravelphotos.smugmug.com/gallery/5240505_BQhJG)
