Mark Leong

Mark Leong

Mark Leong is a fifth-generation American Chinese whose family emigrated from Guangdong Province to California more than a hundred years ago. After graduating from the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University in 1988, he was awarded a George Peabody Gardner Traveling Fellowship to spend a year taking photographs in China.

In 1992, he returned to China as an artist-in-residence at the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing, sponsored by a fellowship from the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Foundation. He subsequently decided to make his long-term home in Beijing, where he has lived since, observing what changes and what remains the same in the world's most populous country.

Leong's photos have appeared in Time, Fortune, the New York Times, Business Week, the New Yorker, Stern, and National Geographic. He has received grants from the National Endowment of the Arts and the Fifty Crows International Fund for Documentary Photography. His book China Obscura won a special citation from the Overseas Press Club for photographic reporting in magazines and books in 2004.

Leong's photographs first appeared in National Geographic in "China's Fossil Marvels" in the August 2005 issue.

Mike Roberts

My earliest memories of the world beneath the ocean surface, were of following my dad while he was spearfishing off the coast of Keawekapu on Maui. I was a little boy and it was the mid 1950's. Few people lived in South Maui then. The road was dirt and the beaches seemed to be my personal domain.

Now, over a half of a century later, I am scuba diving and my passion for the sea has become obsession. Much of my underwater photography is captured within a couple of miles of the same area I snorkeled with my father. The undersea world is still full of splendor and there are still new things to see on every dive. It is that obsession with these new and splendid things that I have attempted to share with you through my imagery.

I now conduct private underwater photography workshops and lead private, underwater photography dives on the island of Maui.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something that stirs you.

摄影师拍摄夏威夷海龟享受鱼群“按摩”服务

据英国《每日邮报》12日报道，一名摄影师在夏威夷潜水时，拍摄到一只海龟正在接受小鱼们的全身清洁“按摩”服务，妙趣横生。

　　据报道，摄影师麦克.罗伯茨(Mike Roberts)在夏威夷普阿科(Puako)潜水时，发现一只海龟安静地停留在水中，等待一群颜色鲜艳的鱼在其身边忙碌地“工作”，为它啄去身上的寄生物，替它“洗澡”。

　　这只海龟还时不时地转身配合鱼儿们，让鱼儿“清洗”身体的不同部分，令人忍俊不禁。

　　罗伯茨赶紧拍下了照片，并介绍说，鱼儿和海龟是共生关系，可能有人会认为海龟看上去不太高兴，但实际上这可能是被海龟“不会笑”的外表“欺骗了”。海龟很乐意这样，才会在这个地区出现，并转身配合鱼儿们的动作。海龟看上去就像人们洗车时，享用洗车房的服务一样。

　　现年60岁的罗伯茨自从孩童时期起就喜欢和父亲一起潜水，他对大还有着一种近乎疯狂的喜爱。他说，过了这么多年，对潜水和海底世界的喜爱一点都没有改变。罗伯茨说，大海的景色很壮观，他每次潜水都能发现新的东西。

Vincent Munier is a photograph born in 1976.
He was influenced by photographers such as the Japanese Michio Hoshino and the Finnish Hannu Hautala, in particular. For him, they catch the essence of wildlife's beauty. The genuineness of their pictures reveals a long and trying work out in the field, often in testing conditions.
“I still believe in the power of pictures to reveal nature's beauty, to make people become aware of the dangers that threaten it.”

Vincent was prize-winner, three years running, of the "Eric Hosking Award" in the "BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year" competition.
As such, his photographies have been exhibited in over 35 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Spain, Sri Lanka and Morocco, as well as in many museums and scientific centers all over the world.

因为喜欢Seitz，所以发现了他，也放到这里吧.

David Osborn, born London, England 1961. Upon leaving school and after a one-year Foundation in art and design at Hornsey College of Art, London, I entered the Graphic Design degree program at the Camberwell School of Art,one of London’s oldest and respected colleges for graphic design, painting,book -making and restoration. During my studies at Camberwell, I discovered that photography was more suited to my personality. Since sitting at a desk held little attraction for me, I took control of my own education and, under the guidance of a tutor, organised my own photographic program. Even though I graduated with a First Class BA (Hons) Camb. in graphic design, I emerged from Camberwell a self taught photographer with no real employable work experience.

After a year of freelance work and employment in the photography
department at Shell Oil, I joined Reuter News Pictures in Fleet Street, one of the world's largest and oldest news agencies, where I began intensive, on-the-job training as a photojournalist. Though inexperienced, Mr Denis Paquin,then of Reuter News Pictures recognized my enthusiasm and dedication and quickly sent me on diverse assignments from photographing royalty to disasters. I learned that in the world of photojournalism, there are no specialists. A training worth it’s weight in gold. I learnt fast.

During that time, I photographed Presidents Reagan, Gorbachev and Butto, the Presidents of Turkey, Portugal, Germany, and ex-President Jimmy Carter. I photographed the Kings of Norway, Spain, King Hussein and ex-King Constantine. I also photographed Margaret Thatcher on numerous occasions and the Royal Family over 50 times.

The events I covered were equally as diverse. I was on location for the Angolan Peace Talks, the Piper Alpha North Seas oil-rig disaster, the London's Kings Cross underground fire disaster, the marriage of Prince Andrew to Sarah Ferguson, the Brixton and Tottenham race riots, the final concert of Wham, Michael Jackson in concert, and Band-Aid. I also covered hundreds of assignments for national and foreign newspapers and magazines shooting portraits, features and hard news.

in 1987, I used this diverse experience to work for nine months in the Philippines to broaden my photographic experience. Working as a freelance for Gamma Picture Agency, I developed story ideas, made the necessary contacts, researched, photographed, and even supplied copy.   During this short but intense visit, I spent months living in the jungle covering the MNLF Muslim rebels' fight for independence of the southern islands of Mindanao, Basilan and Jolo. Also the Christian vigilantes and Tad Tad groups fight against communist rebels.

Back in London, sensing a need to continue to develop my photographic skills, I began producing commercial work for electronics companies, banks, public relations firms, and advertising agencies, such as Ogilvy & Mather and Vallin Pollin.

In 1989, I emigrated to Australia to be closer to Asia and to continue working commercially. From 1993 to 1999 I ran my own studio, Graphica Photography,in the heart of Sydney, creating annual reports and advertising photography for companies such as Zurich Insurance, Alcatel, ICI Chemicals, Nortel Communications and James Hardie. It was my interest in commercial photography and 10 years darkroom experience that led me to the new digital technology, particularly translating traditional darkroom techniques to digital printing. My commercial photography is now a digital process from start to finish.

In 2000, I returned to London and started work for BAA plc completing a round the world assignment shooting their airports and began shooting the British landscape in my own time. From 2004 amoungst other work, I began documenting the construction of Heathrow Airport’s new Terminal 5 building, the work enclosed.

In 2007, I continue some Terminal 5 work, but mainly shoot corporate work with companies and designers and work on annual reports.

Quality is very important and satisfying to me and I continue to look for clients with similar beliefs and challenging projects, where I can apply my
photographic and project management experience to mutual benefit.

WISE BIRDS IN WINTER
An accomplished photographer’s best tips for finding owls, plus
seven locations that attract wise birds and wise birdwatchers alike.
photos by Jim Zipp
Armed with good ears, a little luck, and more than a little know-how, birdwatchers all across North
America can find Great Horned and other owls year-round. But as photographer Jim Zipp has
discovered, owl watching can be especially good in winter, and in certain years, at certain
locations, it can be magical. What’s more, as Jim’s photos reveal, the magic can occur right in
your own backyard.
MY FAVORITE OWL HOT SPOTS
Amherst Island, Ontario
Owls are present ever winter on this private island in Lake Ontario. Noted for the fairly regular
appearance of Boreal Owls, Amherst also hosts Long-eared, Snowy, Short-eared, and Northern
Saw-whet Owls nearly every winter. In really good years, even Great Gray Owls show up.
Screech-owls and Long-eared and Great Horned Owls are resident.
Jones Beach, New York
Located on the south shore of Long Island about 30 miles east of Manhattan, Jones Beach near
Oceanside can be a great place to find Snowy Owls. The extensive dunes and expansive beaches
here are the attraction.
Reclaimed strip mines, southeastern Ohio
Open surface-mining areas turned grasslands, including the Woodbury Wildlife Area in Coshocton
County and the Wilds in Muskingum County, have been hosting good numbers of Short-eared
Owls, which are rare in Ohio.
Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory, Duluth, Minnesota
The hawk-banding station at Hawk Ridge in Duluth is well known. Less well known is that the
station switches over to banding owls at night. Hundreds of Northern Saw-whet Owls, plus a few
Long-eareds, are captured every fall.
Plum Island and Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts
This barrier island is a plum birding destination year-round, but winter is best for owls. Snowy
Owls find the miles of dunes attractive. Close-by Salisbury Beach hosts Snowies as well as Longeared
and Saw-whet Owls, and Short-eared Owls can be seen coursing the marsh toward sunset.
Sax-Zim Bog, Minnesota
During the winter of 2004-05, it was possible to see more than 100 Great Gray Owls and one or
two dozen Northern Hawk Owls a day here and in surrounding areas just north of Duluth. Both
species can usually be found in normal winters. In fact, both sometimes nest in the area.
Southeastern Arizona
Spotted Owls are in the Huachuca Mountains outside of Sierra Vista, and Western and Whiskered
Screech-Owls and Elf, Spotted, Flammulated, Barn, and Great Horned Owls can be found near
Portal. My good friend Rick Bowers of Tucson found 11 species of owl in a single day.

Thomas Ruff was born in 1958 in Zell am Harmersbach, Germany. He attended the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf from 1977 to 1985, where he studied under Bernd Becher. Ruff began photographing landscapes, but while he was still a student he transitioned to interiors (1979–83) and deadpan portraits of friends. His early portraits were black-and-white and small, but he soon switched to color, using solid backgrounds in different colors. He began to experiment with large-format printing in 1986, ultimately producing photographs up to seven by five feet in size. Ruff expanded beyond portraiture with Haus (1987–91), a series of building exteriors. In 1989, he produced a series of images depicting starry skies, derived from pictures he had obtained from the astronomy institute of the Ruhr-Universitt Bochum.

今天中午出去书店乱逛，发现正在卖09年的台历，顺手买了一本，结果发现所有照片都是Tim Fitzharris的野外风景片，google了一下：
Tim Fitzharris began his career in photography in 1971 photographing nesting great blue herons from a camouflaged treetop blind 70 ft. above the ground. For the ensuing 8 years he photographed nature part-time while teaching high school and elementary school. By 1979 he was working full time at photography, shooting in the field and teaching workshops in a variety of venues, including the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and Cornell University Laboratory of Ornithology.

In 1983 his first book, The Adventure of Nature Photography was published. At about the same time, his photos were featured on the cover of Audubon magazine 4 times in one year. Since then he has traveled to many of the earth's wild places in search of unique images and his photographs appear regularly in periodicals world-wide.

Since 2000 Tim has been the monthly nature photography columnist for Popular Photography & Imaging magazine, the world?s largest circulating photo periodical (500,000). He has published numerous Sierra Club art cards including six boxed sets. He is the author and photographer of 28 additional picture books on wilderness and wildlife including Big Sky, Rocky Mountains: Wilderness Reflections, Canada: A Natural History and the award-winning Sierra Club Guide to 35 mm Landscape Photography. He has published more than 100 one-man calendars and engagement diaries and captured several prizes in the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Contest including two first prizes (2001 & 2002) in bird behavior (see photo) and mammal behavior(see photo). His stock photographs are published world wide and have appeared on the front covers of Life, Audubon, Nature's Best Photography Magazine, Terre Sauvage, Popular Photography, Outdoor Photographer, and many others.

Bruce Yolton is an amateur photographer, popular blogger, and avid birder who has lived in New York City for over twenty years. Bruce discovered birding three years ago when Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s The Gates prompted him to walk every path in Central Park, and he has been hooked ever since. He shares his joy of learning about birds with others in his blog about Central Park birding, called Urban Hawks.

Now, you too can learn how to go from beginner to seasoned birder as Bruce shares his birding experiences and tips in person at Belvedere Castle in Central Park. In Bruce’s lecture presentation, 50 Birds in 50 Days, he will display his birding photographs, teach how to select a field guide and choose binoculars, and divulge the best walking routes and viewing spots in Central Park.

最近很想看看不同的国家的知名野生动物摄影师的作品，于是看到了日本的Mitsuaki Iwago，也希望各位老师给予指导。谢谢。
之所以对不同国家感兴趣是因为不同的国家存在不同的野生动物，动物的多样性是每一个摄影师所追求的。

http://www.digitaliwago.com/

下面是蜂鸟网的专访，摘抄到这里：

以不同的眼光子承父业

　岩合光昭先生19岁便涉足野生动物摄影，当问及为什么选择野生动物摄影师这一职业时，岩合光昭先生提起了他的父亲。二战刚刚结束时，整个日本社会气氛沉闷，而岩合光昭的父亲恰恰是一名动物摄影师，主要对动物园里的一些动物进行拍摄，其照片用于活跃社会气氛。受到父亲的影响，岩合光昭先生也开始拿起相机拍摄动物，但是对于“子承父业”多少有些抵触情绪，于是他选择了与父亲完全不同的方式去拍摄动物——拍摄野生动物。

父亲喜欢拍摄动物的一些生理过程，比如鱼产卵这些题材的照片，而岩合光昭则更希望拍摄动物在其自然中的照片，有动物也有环境。为此，他19岁的时候到就远赴南美的科隆岛进行拍摄，从此开始了近40年的野生动物拍摄生涯。

折射动物的真实情感

在此次爱普生影艺坊展出的作品中，很多野生动物都仿佛具有人类般的眼神。岩合昭光先生对此解释道，在非常拍摄野生动物的时候，时常会注意到这一点，野生动物不管是母与子或者雄与雌之间也好，它们也有眼睛对望的瞬间。但不像人类对视的时间那么长，往往转瞬即逝，所以他特别留意这样的瞬间。又比如非洲象，因为小象比较矮，而成年象特别高大，所以眼睛是很难对上的，因此母子之间的交流更多的是用鼻子，岩合昭光认为鼻子间的交流同样是很深奥的。

有时候早上出去拍猫的时候，会遇到浑身脏兮兮的流浪猫，这种猫谁都不会理它，但是岩合昭光总是喜欢跟它说一声“早上好”。这只猫一定会很吃惊，然后盯着他，眼神仿佛在说：“哎，你是跟我打招呼吗？”往往在这个瞬间，岩合昭光就按下了快门。

历经艰险矢志不渝

　在一次拍摄北极熊产仔中，在当地人警告岩合昭光说，在这种恶劣的气侯中，室外最长只能呆30分钟。然而就是在这样的情况下，岩合昭光整整坚持了30小时。那个时候给他当向导的当地的人戴着帽子，脸上、胡子上全部沾满了积雪，当他看到那个向导的几乎半边都是白色的脸时忍不住想笑。

岩合昭光对此解释道，人在遇到危险或者自身感到危险的时候，以及特别紧张的时候，很容易发笑。比如说在爬悬崖绝壁的时候，脚底突然一滑，快要掉下来却又没有掉下的时候，很多人都会发笑，其实这个笑不是别的，而是因为恐惧。所以就不难理解那个时候岩合光召看到那个向导的脸为什么会笑了。

北极熊每年的12月底生小熊，在生小熊的时候会建造一个雪洞，雪洞可能会在积雪下六、七米的地方，因为当雪面是零下40度的时候，雪洞里的温度可以在零下15～17度之间。  在2月中下旬到3月份的时候春天来了之后，熊妈妈会带着熊宝宝从洞里出来，岩合昭光就是要在这个时间拍摄。当时的气温在零下20度，人在感到寒冷的时候总是会想跺跺脚，而在当时的情况下跺脚会让100米内的北极熊感受到震动，所以只能在下风口一动不动的等待北极熊的出现。岩合光召在那样艰苦的环境中连续拍摄了6天，当时他曾多次觉得他可能会冻死在野外。

　　而为了拍摄大熊猫产仔，岩合昭光在秦岭的秋雨中整整待了一个月，因为河水泛滥，他们只能住在大熊猫保护区深处的一个小屋。因为屋里点炉子取暖，整个房间的墙壁上都是黑色的灰。岩合光召长时间盯着发黑的墙壁，感觉看到的黑色墙壁都像大熊猫，当时的心情可想而知。

　　最危险也是最有趣的则是与非洲象的亲密接触。有一次在非洲拍摄电视纪录片，他们在草原上搭帐篷，每天每人只能分到一桶水洗澡。有一天岩合光召在一个小帐篷里洗澡，突然听到好像通管道的声音，一看竟然有象牙进来了！原来是一只非洲象要喝洗澡的水。尽管洗澡水很脏，但是渴极了的非洲象顾不了那么多。

　　当记录片的导演看到这一场景后，就让岩合光召继续洗澡，导演、摄像师和音响师三个人马上投入了拍摄。然而他们拍摄的时候，又跑来了一只非洲象，导演看见后面的非洲象过来了马上就跑开了，摄像师发现了之后则是边退边拍。最惨的是音响师，由于戴着耳机听不见，等发现大象后并没有跑开，结果被大象的鼻子甩出二三米之外。这个时候，岩合光召马上围上毛巾，跑到大象的正对面大声说：“嘿！你干吗呢？”结果大象一愣，接着就往后退了几步。这个场面，都被摄像师完全记录下来了。

　　事后那个被大象甩出去的录音师，身上衣服全都破了。岩合光召问他为什么不跑，结果他说：“你不是跟我说了，碰到野生动物不要跑吗？所以我就呆在那里没有跑！”。岩合光召对他说：“实在对不起，其实我忘了还有一句话要告诉你，除了不跑之外还要大喊一声！这句话好像忘了告诉你。”

　　其实在岩合先生的眼里，只有野生动物而没有猛兽，虽然这些动物的力量比我们人类要大，比如说北极熊的体重可重达600公斤，一个巴掌就能让人的脑袋搬家，但是这些动物并不会主动伤人，正如狮子菜单里面没有人类。比猛兽更可怕的实际上是我们人类自身，所以我们应该保护动物，而不是惧怕动物。

关注人与动物、自然与动物

　　岩合昭光在拍摄野生动物的生涯中，还特别关注人类与动物、自然与动物之间复杂的关系。从他的照片中，除了各种动物之外，还会看到这些动物生存的的环境，而从这些环境中可以看到诸如全球气侯变暖、沙漠化、干旱这些现象，而这些现象与生活在自然环境中的动物有着密不可分的联系。岩合昭光更希望通过这些画面，展示我们所生存的这个地球的变化。

　　这几年来，岩合光昭越练越感觉，无论是野生动物保护区还是国立公园，自然的东西越来越少，相反到这些地方去的观光客人却越练越多了。比如今年7月份到肯尼亚一个国立公园去拍摄猎豹，结果就有很多游客一直跟着他们，他们把车停哪，游客就跟着把车停哪，最多的时候各种车辆多达40辆。

　　尽管这些国立公园的收费非常昂贵（40美元/人），但是肯尼亚※※称明年1月份将把收费提高到100美元/人，而对于专业的摄影师来说，除了交100美元之外，再加600美元的拍摄费，如果认为你相机专业要收600美元，如果是拿摄像机的话，就交4000—5000美元。连拍摄动物的机会都要用金钱来购买，想想确实令人感到可悲。

　　前面说到拍摄猫，岩合光昭认为相比野生动物，普通人对猫、狗的照片显然有着更大的兴趣，也就是这些人类身边的动物。日本已经有47督道府县，现在岩合光昭已经拍摄了其中41个督导府县的猫，他准备继续拍下去，拍遍日本各地的猫。因为他认为：猫幸福了，人就幸福，人幸福了，这个地球就幸福。

就是你这句“桥下躲着”让我在阿根廷也想起了你，因为我发现在桥墩下有一堆海豹，于是一看到桥就找海豹

哈。。我找了，但找不到。。后来听说在桥下躲着，那条桥却不知道，但我知道大概在那里，不过，又听说very hard to get a clean shot，所以，难难难。。。。但那里有海豹，所以，我还是会不久就去一次的，但愿下次去的时候会遇到它。。

Nature photography is my passion and my way of promoting wildlife awareness.
我热爱自然摄影，它使我更进一步认识野生世界。

I was born in Israel and moved to Australia in 2002 where I do most of my photography. I started to take pictures of birds at the age of 21 with an old Olympus OM-1 body and a 300mm manual focus lens. My old photographs were published in various magazines and publications in Israel and overseas.
我出生于以色列，2002年移民到澳大利亚，我的大部分摄影都是在那里做的。我21岁开始拍鸟，当时用一台奥林帕斯OM-1机身和300mm手动镜头。我的老照片发表在以色列和海外的各种杂志上。

A few years later I, together with my brother Ido who is also a photographer, made a wildlife film about Kingfishers in Israel. This film won the “BBC Newcomers Award” in “Wildscreen’88” which is a leading International wildlife film festival.
几年后，我和我的弟弟Ido一起，他也是一名摄影师，我们制作了一部关于以色列翠鸟的野生电影。这部电影赢得了“Wildlife’88”这一主要世界野生电影节的“BBC新人奖”。

For various reasons I drifted away from nature photography for a lengthy period of time, returning with a burning enthusiasm about three years ago when I bought my first digital SLR – Canon 10D. I currently use Canon 1D mark II, Canon 500mm f-4 and Canon 300mm f-2.8 with x2 and x1.4 teleconverters.
由于各种原因，我有很长一段时间疏远自然摄影，直到三年前我买了第一部数码单反佳能10D后，热情又重新燃烧起来。我最近使用佳能1D mark III，佳能500mm f-4和佳能300mm f2.8加上2倍和4倍望远倍率镜。

Going digital has opened many exciting opportunities. It has made bird photography much more exciting and creative for me.
使用数码后开阔了许多令人兴奋的机会。它使我的摄影更具刺激和创造性。

My skills have been honed by an active involvement with the USA websites, NatureScapes.net and NaturePhotographers.net, in both I used to serve as a Moderator in the BIRDS forums. These are the leading International websites for nature photography, and boasts the finest nature photographers from all around the world, showing their work and exchanging ideas and techniques.
我的技能是在积极参与美国NatureScapes.net和NaturePhotographers.net两个网站的活动中磨炼出来的，在这两个网上的鸟论坛里我一向当主持人。这两个网站都是领先的自然摄影国际网站，夸称拥有来自全世界最精美的自然摄影照片，网站展示他们的作品，交流思想和技术。

Please contact me if you have questions about my work and/or bird photography as the way I see things, nature photography is a great way to help win the battle for nature conservation and I will do what I can to help as many photographers as possible…
如果你对我的作品和/或鸟摄影有什么问题，请跟我联系。在我看来，自然摄影是一种很好的赢得保护自然的方式，我将尽可能地帮助这些摄影师。

谢谢DNAsiRNA, 我会慢慢查查地图，下次去时有可能一定一一摄到。我对owl最感兴趣，听说※※公园的owl全死了，非常难过，不过最近听德国说long island有owl，我还没勇气去找。

Blake Shadle
I was born on December, 31 1983, for my entire life, I have lived in what used to be a small town. I grew up fishing, and playing outdoors, most of that time spent without the company of my shoes. I always loved to be outdoors, and still do. Over time, I've cultivated a deep appreciation for the Everglades, and different types of ecosystems in Florida. At first the casual trips to the Everglades seemed more of a chore than a break from anything, and my feelings stayed that way for quite a while; never really wanting to leave the comfort of the family van. But you see, once I nervously stepped into the clear, beautiful water of the Everglades, I not only acquired a taste for it. I got hooked! Since then, I've logged countless miles trekking into the open ‘glades day and night.
我生于1983年12月31日，我一生住在小镇。我小时候钓鱼，在户外玩，而且多数时间是赤脚的。我总是喜欢呆在室外，现在仍然没变。渐渐的我培养起对大沼泽和佛州各种生态品种的热爱。但起初，我偶然去大沼泽的时候，似乎是办杂务的多，好好休息的少，这种感觉存在一段时候，我真不想离开那个舒适的家庭式轿车。但我一旦紧张地踏入干净的，漂亮的大沼泽水时，我不仅尝到它的味道，而且迷上了，从那以后，我昼夜在空旷的大沼泽慢慢跋涉，不知走了多少公里。
When I'm not in the Everglades, I'm usually at my computer designing Web Sites. Being the web master and web designer at Wild Florida Photography keeps me pretty busy all by it’s self. While it is time consuming, I've really enjoyed taking the time to design a site about Photography, and Florida's Natural Wonders.
我不在大沼泽的时候，通常是在我的计算机上做网页设计。作为佛州野生摄影网站的网页主管和网页设计师我是非常忙的，因为一切都要自己做。虽然很花时间，但我真的喜欢花时间设计这个摄影和佛州的自然奇观网站。
I love photography. And my photography is especially rewarding when capturing images of Wild Florida and her Everglades. While I enjoy wildlife photography, my favorite style of photography has to be Florida landscapes and scenics. It challenges you to capture and, somehow, present the perfect beauty that seems impossible to capture perfectly.
我热爱摄影，当我拍摄到佛州的野生景色和大沼泽的图象的时候我就觉得很高兴。我喜欢野生动物摄影，我最喜欢拍佛州的风景照。它挑战我的摄影，有时候，现场的美似乎是不可能完全捕捉到的。
The Everglades has an amazing and magnificent array of ecosystems to explore, I love having the opportunity to Wet Walk in the Glades. And I hope I can share this experience with you.
大沼泽有大量的非常吸引人的生态系统，让人探索，我一有机会就喜欢到大沼泽里去走。我希望我能同你一起分享这个经验。

"On a Wing and a Prayer; The Migratory Birds of North America."这名不好翻，这是一个俚语，源自Harold Adamson和Jimmie McHugh二战时写的一首歌：“Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer”(1943年)，意思是：In poor condition, but just managing to get the job done. 我查了查字典就是靠运气了。但是作为标题，确实不好翻。我在网上查到好莱坞的一部电影叫：“Wing and a Prayer”1944出版的，于是找中文翻译，译为：飞行之翼与祈祷者，我认为完全错了，最后我决定翻为：“天祷我意：北美的侯鸟”。期待大家指点。

DNAsiRNA,佛州真是打鸟的好地方,我还会再去,除了Everglades还有什么好地方告诉我。没弄脏恐怕也是同大师之间的差距吧。

这次在佛州我也爬下去了，但没有把机子弄脏。舍不得啊。

Arthur Morris
Arthur Morris is a free-lance nature photographer and writer specializing in birds. He taught elementary school in New York City for twenty-three years. For eight years he conducted the shorebird survey at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge for The International Shorebird Surveys, Manomet, MA. Two of his images--out of 19,000 entries--were awarded prizes in the 1997 BG plc Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, and another was similarly honored in the 2000 contest. In April 1995, Mr. Morris became a Canon contract photographer, part of their "Explorers of Light" program. Four of his images are featured in the Canon "EF Lens Work II" book.
