VIDEO: See Art Wolfe’s special West Seattle presentation

Award-winning West Seattle-based environmental/cultural photographer Art Wolfe has published more than 80 books and taken more than 2 million images in his storied career, according to his website. While he travels much of the year to seek and photograph what’s beautiful in our world, on occasion he is able to stop down for a presentation – like the one shown in these two video clips, a recent gathering with the Southwest Seattle Historical Society‘s top supporters. While there wasn’t enough room at the venue to open this event to the public, SWSHS executive director Clay Eals explains, Wolfe agreed to allow it to be recorded on video so it could be shared, and that’s what we’re doing here. His presentation included his most famous images as well as West Seattle photos from his early days.

Wolfe is a lifelong West Seattleite; his main gallery is in Pioneer Square. And, checking his website, we note he has a presentation coming up one month from today at Benaroya Hall downtown (April 15th) – find out more here.

    When I watched, part 2 was a repeat of part 1. That is to say there was no part 2.
    .
    Part 3 is outstanding. I did not know about Art. He is very talented.

    Oooooo, I’m so going to watch all of this. Thank you for posting this. I’ve been a huge fan of his, even before moving over to West Seattle. It’s pretty cool that one of the world’s premiere wildlife photographers is a local.

    Thanks for sharing those fun stories of Arthur growing up in W. Seattle inspired by the natural beauty from an early age. I’m a great admirer of his work and gift to capture the magic of great places, people, and wildlife around the world.

    Note to anyone who might pick up on such small details: The original publication last weekend included two Vimeo clips; at the request of SWSHS, we have swapped them out for YouTube clips, same presentation, same content. – TR

    Art, such a great inspiration. Through his photographs and presentations
    He taught me how to “see” develope a vision for photography.
