Penguin – A Story of Survival

The internationally awarded nature photographer Stefan Christmann spent two polar winters as close to the emperor penguins of Antarctica as no one ever before. In over 125 emotional and intimate images, he shows the deep bonds that penguins build with one another: their common fight against the cold, the loving upbringing of their chicks, always in contrast to the harsh and merciless icy desert of Antarctica. In personal narrations on over 200 pages, Christmann tells stories from the everyday life of the animals. Stories of life and survival, of birth, love and companionship at the end of the world.
A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching
By Rosemary Mosco

The Salish Sea
Featuring the photos of Ken Archer and other photographers
Fashioned by the violent volcanism of the Pacific Rim of Fire, plate tectonics, and the sculptural magic wrought by Ice Age glaciers, the Salish Sea straddles the western border between Canada and the United States and is connected to the Pacific Ocean primarily through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This fascinating visual journey through the Salish Sea combines a scientist’s inquiring mind, beautiful photographs, and a lively narrative of fascinating stories, all of which impart a sense of connection with this intricate marine ecosystem and the life that it sustains. (Note: I reviewed this book back in 2015.)

(No spoilers here!)

Canon 1DX 18.1MP Camera Body
$1000 + S/H
Click on image for larger view
This is my beloved 1DX, which has produced so many amazing images for me. It shows its experience: the body’s exterior is scruffed and scratched. Nearly the entire interior was replaced by Canon in 2015 when it drowned in the Galapagos. I just had the back LCD replaced due to a large scratch. But it continues to perform marvelously. I’m convinced this body would serve me well for many years to come, but I’m slowly switching over to mirrorless.
