Photographer: Sean Fitzgerald, Dallas, Texas Image Title: Bushman in Kalahari Category: Indigenous Cultures   Technical Details: Canon EOS-1n RS, Canon 17-35mm lens, Fuji Velvia film, 1/30 second at f/11 Location: Kalahari Desert, South Africa Description: Near Kalahari National Park in South Africa, I came across this Bushman, Jakob, who agreed to let me take photos. The Kalahari in which he lives is punctuated by these beautiful reddish dunes, and I wanted to photograph him in a way that gives a sense of place. The image is printed to watercolor paper.   I strive for images that are simple, graphic, evocative, and surreal. I believe you should judge images with your heart; technique is just a tool, not the ultimate goal. I find myself repeatedly drawn to nature and wildlife and the impact of man on both.   My images have been displayed at various galleries and museums and in various publications such as PhotoMedia, Professional Photographer, Outdoor Photographer, The New York Times, and Audubon Nature Calendars. With a partner, I have finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the Valley Land Fund Wildlife Photo Contest (www.valleylandfund.com). On my own, I won the 2001 Coastal Bend Wildlife Photography contest (www.wildlifephotocontest.com). A 2001 issue of Professional Photographer magazine featured me as their monthly cover artist. At the 2001 Fotofusion Photography Festival, I was chosen by Art Wolfe to receive the festival's Rising Star Photographer Award. You can see more of my images on my web site.   Sean Fitzgerald Sean Fitzgerald Photography, Inc.
