I spent the afternoon yesterday with a wildlife photographer who just blew me away. I'm not sure whether this is allowed here, but I would like to do some shameless shilling for this guy. Norman is part native Indian and spent a good part of his life studying native mythology and such. He claims to be able to communicate with his subjects in some elemental way. He get's very close to these animals and has an intimacy with them in his pictures that is quite unlike anything I have ever seen before.
His website can be found at
www.normanrich.com —and you have to click on the various thumbnails to get into the galleries. All of his prints can be ordered and the details are on the site. The quality of these things is astonishing. Norman is a complete animal nut, but not much of a businessman, so I am trying to connect him with a few potential buyers.
Some sample pictures:
