World Wildlife Fund “Life Grows On” photo contest… please vote!
July 3rd, 2011 § 1 Comment
Several weeks ago, I entered a handful of my most memorable East Africa images in the WWF “Life Grows On” photo contest. One of them is now a finalist for the grand prize:
morning at the mountain of god (oldonyo lengai, northern tanzania)
WWF says that more than 10,000 entries were submitted, so I’m pretty stoked that this image made it to the top 150 images (50 finalists in each of 3 categories).
Here is how I described my image to WWF:
“In a lumbering, open-air, all-terrain vehicle, it took us nearly half a day to travel out of range of Oldonyo Lengai, or Mountain of God. Not Tanzania’s highest mountain but one of its steepest, Lengai seemed to loom all around us as the road wound downward and doubled back along itself, almost encircling Lengai as it led us away from the Lake Natron region. I love how this image seems to place Lengai in a small serene garden, and yet to convey a sense of motion around its massiveness.”
Please take a moment to vote for this image in the WWF Life Grows On photo contest, and to check out all of the beautiful images that are also in the running.

Thank you!
