An Island of its Own

I must admit that I have never really focused on birds even though I am a photographer, but after reading some articles in Audubon 2014 issue I will aim to capture and pay closer attention when I am out in nature. This issue holds some interesting articles, covering top innovators and even a captivating article on the Galapagos Islands.
 These islands hold an interesting perspective of our world, its echo system once thriving with an abundant of creatures now is on the verge of vanishing as climate change alters this mysterious and wondrous place. The photography captures the true spectrum, taken bySebastiao Salgado.

Nature and photography Come Alive

First I must say that the Faerie Magazine was most impressive with the layout and articles, at least in this addition that I could see. In the current issue that I came across; I've found a new artist to follow. Artist Katerina Plotnikova shoots her work combining nature and animals together into a encapsulating and uncanny surrealism that I find most alluring.

" I wold love for anyone 
    who sees my work to 
     understand that even though
    the world has retreated
    further and further from 
   nature, we still find a balance..."

Going on any adventure-travel excursion whether for work or pleasure can sometimes do a number on your health and diet. It can be exciting to be carried away into another culture, but if you drift away from your nutritional plan then your in for a rude awakening. But in Cooking Light Bill Allen a photographer/editor for Natural Geographic was woken up when his results from the doctor came back looking a bit shabby. So Bill as he mentions in the article had to change up his diet-life style plan so that he could continue traveling.
