Seattle-based nature photographer Art Wolfe is recognized throughout the world for his mastery of color, composition and perspective. His vision and passion for wildlife advocacy affirm his dedication to his work. His stunning images interpret and record the world's fast-disappearing wildlife, landscapes and native cultures, and are a lasting inspiration to those who seek to preserve them all. He is widely published in magazines internationally and has released more than 50 books in the course of his 25-year career.

Wolfe will present a multimedia sneak preview of "Edge of the Earth, Corner of the Sky," a new collection of dynamic landscapes, accompanied by his lively narrative of the story behind the scenes. The event will mark the debut of Wolfe's images from his self-published book, to be released in the fall of 2003. This special seminar will take place at Benaroya Hall on Friday, June 6, immediately following the award presentations.

Tickets for Friday's award presentation and keynote seminar will be available via www.worldinfocus.us (click here for details), by mail (see the insert in the Spring/Summer 2003 issue of PhotoMedia) or at Benaroya Hall's box office in person (cash only).
