excellent work!
Thanks Rik! I appreciate it 🙂
I absolutely love all your documentaries. Never stop what you’re doing! Thank you.
Wow Adele – thank you! More of them coming soon! SAVE THE DATES: Our new PBS Nature shows premier over the next few months! ‘The Last Orangutan Eden’ premiers on February 25th at 8pm. Joe Pontecorvo filmed and produced and I narrate and host. It is an amazing film with an important message – something for everybody. Plus, the mini-series ‘Nature’s Guide to Animal Homes’ will premier April 8th, 15th, and 22nd on PBS Nature at 8pm. I host and narrate. It’s really beautiful. Most of the traveling I did in late 2013 and all 2014 was for this series. Puffins, bears, fish, hummingbirds, leaf-cutter ants, beavers……..hope you can tune in 🙂
Hi Chris,
Merle Wasson here. 2006 Antarctica with Jo Van Os. The guy you helped recover luggage. Thanks again. Follow you and enjoy your work. You are such an asset for the natural world. I still do photography. Returned from Kenya in November. It was my sixth trip to Africa. I am now 74. Going to the George Lepp photo seminar in Florida in two weeks. Guess I will get a few bird images. Be safe in your quest to help the bears and tigers. I was a bunk mate with Michio Hoshino at Cape Churchill just weeks before he was mauled by a grizzly in Russia. I know. Cheers, Merle Wasson
Hi Merle – wow good to hear from you – thanks for the kind words! Nice to reconnect, and fond memories! Chris
