New Seminars and CBC Radio

CBC Radio in Alberta will be airing an interview with me this Thursday, November 19th between 12 and 12:30 p.m. (over lunch) on Wild Rose Country with Donna McElligott on Delinda, the wolf on the cover of the upcoming Canadian Geographic issue.

And after the success of my first two seminars with The Camera Store (this Saturday's 'Getting Wild about Photography with John E. Marriott' is also sold out), we've decided to offer my seminars again in February for anyone that missed the first two.

Getting Wild about Photography will be offered on Saturday, February 13th from 1-3 p.m. and How to Self-Publish (and actually make money at it) is scheduled to run on Saturday, February 27th from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

I also just learned yesterday that my insurance for my new tour off-shoot for my company has been approved, so stay tuned for tour information for a number of high profile and exciting trips in 2010 in early January.

The destinations I hope to start with for 2010 include trips to Churchill to photograph polar bears, a trip to Princess Royal Island in BC to photograph white kermode bears, a trip to a remote location in BC to photograph mountain grizzlies, and a trip to Nunavut north of the Arctic Circle to photograph caribou, musk-ox and if we're lucky, tundra wolves.

Cheers,

John

Polar Bear Pictures

A year ago, as a test trip as part of a Canadian wildlife photography tour company that I'm launching in 2010, I visited Churchill, Manitoba along with a few colleagues. We braved -40 temperatures and five days of blizzards, but got some absolutely fabulous opportunities with the polar bears.

This is the first sneak peek at the polar bear pictures (the best are yet to come!). Enjoy!
