Since I returned from Asia, we have been working furiously to redesign Art Wolfe Inc from the ground up. A new logo designed by Girvin (think of the graphics from Nordstrom and The Matrix) was the first step, followed by our new website (www.artwolfe.com). We are trying to create a resource for lovers of photography and the wild world.We have a ways to go, kinks to smooth, but we will get there.
In the following posts I will explain what we’ve done in each area of our business and mission. We have new classes, exclusive field seminars, more books, different prints, and are committed to providing lots of free content on the site.

Did you ever get your equipment and hard drives back from Thailand’s demonstrator’s shut down of the airport?
Looking forward in seeing the new site and workshops.

Some friends picked up my gear at the Bangkok hotel and flew it back as luggage. I was lucky.

Hello Art. I have seen you at work years ago on 2nd beach near Lapush. I was just a young logger from Forks walking the beach with my little pentax K1000. That was back in the 80′s and I am not that young anymore and I am not a logger anymore either but I still live here and I am still taking photos. I have visited your Seattle gallery and office and someday I plan to actually buy a print. Great work I hope to see much more.

Art, I have really been enjoying the second season of Travels to the Edge on my local PBS-HD provider. Any chance that you will be offering the serier on Blu-Ray in the near future?
Looking forward to next season. Watching your show always modivates me to get out and try to take some great wildlife and landscape pics. Keep up the great work and thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks, Josh.
We have no plans for Blu-Ray right now. Maybe down the line a bit.

Hello Art, I’ve really enjoyed watching ‘Travels to the Edge’. Your photos are breathtaking, and your enthusiasm in getting that perfect shot is infectious.
By now you must have traveled to almost every country in the world! Is there one place you haven’t been to that you’d really like to visit?
I look forward to season three. Happy traveling!

Thanks, Caitlin,
I’ve always wanted to go to Vietnam and Laos. Congo and Yemen are sketchy yet compelling. I feel like I’ve only seen a few corners, despite all my travels.

Hi Art
I been looking around in your web site and I couldn’t find any info on the gear your using.
I know your using Canon products, btw I’m also using Canon. I’m also interested in the accessories such as tripods, ballheads etc.
Thanks.

Any plans to do another seminar in North Carolina? I missed the one last fall… rats!
BTW, my wife and I absolutely LOVE your show, Travels to the Edge. And, she surprised me with your book for Christmas. Great stuff!!!

Art, I’m glad to see that you have a blog I look forward to hearing about your adventures. Your work is truly inspiring. It has changed the way that I look at my own photography. Good luck with the new website.
Will
If you ever need an extra man for a trip let me know!

Love the new site Art, but its the images that put it above the rest. I like that you have a blog and actually type in it. Keep up the great work on Travels to the Edge.
What kinds of tips can you offer for shooting in sub zero temperatures… I do fine when I am moving but once I have to sit in a spot I suffer, even with hand and feet warmers and multiple levels of clothing.
January 16, 2009 at 3:53 pm |
I am on the run so I’ll answer a few queries at once.
Suffering is part of being in the cold, but I find that getting the warmest possible hat helps keep me warmer. Mitts are a lot warmer than gloves so in deep cold I use those with some fingerless or very thin gloves underneath.
The only Creative Session I’m going to do this year is in my Seattle facility the first weekend in May. It will include a reception at my house for all the participants. We’ll have a description of the event on the site soon.
I use carbon fiber Gitzo tripods and Arca ballheads.
Finally, I would love to photograph in Iran.
Thanks for your comments.

I have two other question for you. I see alot of pictures on your site of people. Do you always have a guide with you that speaks there language? How do you get them to sign a NDA for use with stock company’s or for print in magazines.
I know from your work that you focus creating an artistic presentation with your images. I shoot alot in Winter on Lake Michigan every day I find uniqe compositions sometimes they are good sometimes not. Usually my flaw is not composition its color… my ice has a tendancy to come out blue as its before sunrise. I for one find it attractive and it contrasts with the orange color on the horizon. I get alot of people saying to fix the color, usually its from the technical photographer group. The artist in me says its fine. I am sometimes torn between being technically correct and artistically. Am I doing something wrong with my photography.
