Wild Planet
Wild Planet book
Well, long time no blog! I am very sorry for all you avid readers who wait with bated breath for every new instalment of this gripping series! As you all know life has a habit of getting really busy on you, but it is all good. Better than good actually. My wife and I have been building a house (not literally, the builders have been building it. If I built it, it would have fallen down already.) Well we get our keys tomorrow morning. So it is a very exciting time. However it means lots of packing and moving and painting, and not much shooting… But it is totally worth it.
You are probably wondering why there is a picture of a book with someone elses incredible elephant photo on the cover. Well I have an image in this book. This book is called Wild Planet (duh), and it is a celebration of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. It is a selection of favourite images from the last 15 years or so. I was incredibly privileged to have an image published in the 2007 edition of the competition, and even more privileged to have my image chosen for this collection as well. Not only is it a book, it is an outdoor exhibition that is going to tour for the next 5 years. Currently it is in Brighton UK, so if you are in or plan to visit that area go check it out. And if you are really kind you could send me a picture of my picture, if that makes sense! Check out Wild Planet online here.
Below is the image in the book. It is still probably my favourite image I have taken. It is a close up of the beak of an Australian Pelican. It is titled simply, The Bill.

That;s awesome Wes. Congratulations!
Thanks Alex, it sure is a great feeling seeing to see your own picture published in a book.
