Dear Friends, For a little inspiration as 2022 begins, I’m sharing an image of a pair of Red-crowned Cranes performing a duet in a snowstorm. In Japan, where I made this image, cranes are a symbol of happiness, good luck, and long life. Despite the blizzard, this pair is thinking ahead to the spring nesting […]
I hope you are all doing well, and if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, have been able to get out and enjoy the fall season. Since I’m not traveling internationally quite yet, I took the chance to spend time up in Maine earlier this month, where the fall foliage this year was quite extraordinary, […]
Dear Friends, It’s Giving Tuesday today, and I hope you are giving some thought to how you can help out the causes you care about. Here at Tim Laman Photography, we are supporting our long-term partner the “Gunung Palung Orangutan Conservation Program” and their campaign “Save Wild Orangutans”. Here are four ways you can be […]
Over the summer, while out in California visiting family, we made a side trip to Catalina Island to do a few days of diving. I hadn’t been diving since the pandemic began, so it was great to get in the water, and get back to doing some underwater photography. As always, it was a great […]
It’s been a crazy year, but one of the perks for me has been working closer to home, and spending more time with family. Last summer, I took on a project from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to film the early lives of Common Loons up in Maine, and my children Russell and Jessica, 20 […]
I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Where are you dreaming of traveling to? I have many places on my list. It may be a little while yet, but the first place I will head back to internationally will definitely be Borneo, to continue coverage of the orangutans and biodiversity […]
Dear Friends, One of the most exciting things about what I do is having a chance to reveal aspects of animal behavior that haven’t been seen before. A couple years ago, my long time bird-of-paradise collaborator Ed Scholes of the Cornell Lab and I made another expedition to the Arfak Mountains in West Papua, with […]
Have you heard of the Raja Ampat Islands? They are a unique archipelago off the Western tip of the big island of New Guinea. I’ve been intrigued by this region ever since reading The Malay Archipelago by Alfred Russel Wallace, and exploring this region above and below water has become a personal passion since my […]
Dear Friends, I hope this finds you well and feeling optimistic about 2021. It’s going to be another challenging year, but I think things are looking up. Stepping outside last night to have a look at the full moon, I was reminded of my image below. It’s not often I can include the moon in […]
