About 3 weeks ago The Matriarch  
Photographer +Stephen Oachs

This beautiful cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), a protective mother of five, watches cautiously from atop a termite mound as two lions slowly approach her family through African grasslands. She stands ready to protect her young cubs...at any cost.

With exceptional eyesight, this excellent mother can evaluate danger from great distances. In the wild, cheetah cubs have a high mortality rate due to predation by other carnivores. The cheetah is naturally adapted for its environment, and being the fastest land mammal on record, able to cover distances up to 500 meters in bursts of 70-75 mph, it has the ability to protect and provide food for its young. In this case, the lions were chased off and the cubs and mother were able to continue with their pursuit of living wild and free.

About 12 weeks ago Plus One Collection Fine Art Prints - Print #10

Here's the last photograph that will be featured as a fine art print that's included with each copy of the Limited Edition of Plus One Collection. This one is by +Brian Matiash. 

What can I say? Beautiful location, colors and contrasts in this one. Really can't wait to see how it turns out in the print. 

I'll be sending an email to those who bought a LE copy, or a print during our fundraising campaign. It should go out tonight and will let you pick which print you'd like with your copy.

About 9 weeks ago Self Portrait in Paris

I just got back from spending a couple of weeks in Europe. It's refreshing to see the new places and disconnect from the usual routine for a bit.  

Last Saturday I found myself shooting around Louvre in Paris early in the morning. I'm still surprised that I spent three hours there with my tripod and not a single passing guard complained. I'm so used to being harassed by security in the States that it felt very liberating to not be noticed. 

While there, I saw this beautiful hallway open up right before me, and I couldn't stop from channeling my inner +Nathan Wirth for a rare self portrait. 

I'm working on other images from the trip, but trying a new technique for post processing, so it maybe a while till they all trickle in through my feed. 

Much thanks to +Chris Chabot and to +Clement Biger for great tips on shooting Paris!
