On Assignment
(HUAI KHA KHAENG —THAILAND) Greetings from Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary in western Thailand, where I’m attending the second annual Tigers Forever meeting.
My work as a photographer with National Geographic often requires collaboration with some of the world’s preeminent scientists. Attending a conference such as this gives me the opportunity to meet the scientists [...]
You Can’t Always Get What You Want…<BR>by Steve Winter
On Assignment
Sorry everybody that I have been absent from the blog for a while. Gabe and I finally recovered from our mysterious illnesses but then I lost my satellite internet for a couple of weeks, and as the project winds down we’ve been putting in even longer hours than usual.
In the last month we’ve been [...]
In Sickness and in Health <BR>by Steve Winter<BR>
On Assignment
A lot of people ask me questions about my encounters with wildlife, about the adventures and dangers. On this trip I’ve blogged about this a lot. But traveling abroad and working in the jungle, the creatures that cause us the most problems aren’t the big, beautiful animals—it’s the microscopic ones you don’t see that [...]
Tiger in the Road <BR>By Steve Winter<BR>
On Assignment
Up at 4 AM, into the park by 5:00. The cloudy, wet weather has persisted long beyond what is normal: a climatologist told us that this is the rainiest it’s been this time of year in a century. Today, an anemic sun barely broke through the haze and mist as we drove into the [...]
Tokyo <BR>By Brian Skerry<BR>
On Assignment
For the past several days I have been in Tokyo, having left Hokkaido and the frozen north behind. My next underwater location is Toyama Bay where I will try to photograph the strange Firefly Squid, however my research indicates that the optimum time for these animals is during a new moon, which begins in [...]
Winding Down in Rausu<BR>By Brian Skerry
On Assignment
Things have slowed considerably over the last week. My hope was to get offshore several days in search of ribbon seals, however I only made it out once and we found no seals. The pack ice has moved in very thick and is preventing any boats from leaving the harbor on most days. Seki-san [...]
Back to the Ice<br>By Brian Skerry
On Assignment
During the last week we have shifted gears from beach diving and returned to ice diving offshore. I chartered a boat to take us to the drift ice, so that I could get back to making pictures beneath the ice canopy. The drift ice is transient, and continually changes with wind and tide, so [...]
You Can’t Make Life<BR>By Steve Winter

"You can make many pictures, but you cannot make life." — Konwar
Here in Kaziranga, I need to show what it is like for the forest guards who patrol on elephant through the high grass and unexpectedly come upon a rhino. I also want to show the intimate view of the animal through both high [...]
Abachans and Sea Angels<BR>By Brian Skerry
On Assignment
Over the past few days I’ve continued to work off the shores of Rausu photographing a variety of marine life. During my research prior to arriving here, I learned about two animals that are unique within the underwater world of Hokkaido and are considered rather special by the people of Rausu. One is a [...]
Patience…Patience<BR>By Steve Winter
On Assignment
We headed off to the Difalumukh camp to stay for a few days; it’s located deep in the far reaches of the park. I wanted to stay here because of its remote forest location and close proximity to many open beels (lakes surrounded by grassy areas where many animals graze), but also to be [...]
