We All Want to be Art Wolfe


We All Want to be Art Wolfe

Art took us down to the Li River this evening to shoot the cormorant
fishermen. This is not the same place that he shot his iconic photograph
several years ago as that location (formerly an isolated sand bar) is now a
built-up marina used to ferry tourists on river rides. This place is
changing fast. We found a location a few miles away and paid a couple of
fishermen to pose for us. During the 30 minutes or so of good low light, we
managed to get several shots that we are happy with. I did not try to
recreate Art's shot as that would require getting flat on the sand with the
camera at ground level. Water buffalo use that beach to drink. and other
things.
