Interviews

Onlangs kreeg ik een spontaan berichtje van natuurfotograaf Jan Vermeer, die enkele kietelende opmerkingen maakte over mijn inspanningen voor Nature First NL/BE. Als ik dat van iemand had verwacht, dan was het wel van hem. Voor mij een uitgelezen kans om hem meteen uit te nodigen voor een interview voor Nature First.

Recently I received a spontaneous message from nature photographer Jan Vermeer, who made some teasing comments about my work as an ambassador for Nature First. If I were to expect that from anyone, it would be from him. An excellent opportunity for me to immediately invite him to do an interview for Nature First.

Living near a volcano like Etna has certainly influenced my way of seeing the world and natural beauties. I have always been fascinated by Nature, every time I find myself in front of it, in a forest or on the top of a mountain, I feel how everything is magically interconnected, everything exists in a delicate symbiosis perfectly balanced.

Andrea lives with her husband in a lovely house with an abundant flower garden in the village of IJzendoorn in the Betuwe. The village is protected by a high dike, right on the river Waal. The river, with its floodplains and woodlands, is an important source of inspiration for her photography. So important that she devoted her first published photo book ‘De Waal Bewogen’ to it.

Andrea woont met haar echtgenoot in een sfeervol huis met prachtige bloementuin in het dorpje IJzendoorn in de Betuwe. Het dorp ligt, beschermd door een hoge dijk, pal aan de rivier de Waal. De rivier met haar uiterwaarden en rivierbossen is een belangrijke inspiratiebron voor haar fotografie. Zo belangrijk, dat ze er haar eerste gepubliceerde fotoboek ‘De Waal Bewogen’ aan gewijd heeft.

Entrevista con Dario Podesta, miembro de Nature First

Non servono molte presentazioni per LORENZO SHOUBRIDGE. Basta citare gli ultimi riconoscimenti: è stato per tre volte successive premiato al Wildlife Photographer of the Year, vincitore assoluto di Montphoto e premiato in moltissimi altri concorsi.

This month at Nature First, the topic we’re highlighting is “Lead By Example.” This subject falls in line with one of Nature First’s principles,- Actively promote and educate others about these principles.” When thinking about others who inspire and educate, I immediately thought of Phill Monson, from Utah, whose tireless work to educate others and clean up our lands has been highly motivating. He’s not only inspired others to follow in his steps, but his positivity sends a great message that we can all be influencers for positive change.
