Description of Pictures: Selections from Matsalu Nature Film Festival, Estonia
Program introduced by Tiit Mesila, Festival Director, Matsalu Nature Film Festival.

OLD MAN AND THE MOOSE (Estonia, 2009, 36 min.) Harri has been studying moose and their inner natures for more than 30 years. For him, moving around with the moose on the wetland, where he converses with them in “moose language” has become a ritual of sorts. It may seem bizarre to bystanders when a man makes a show of presenting his ears to the animals and mimics their groaning and moaning, but for Harri the dream of his life is to take the guise of a moose.

The Lena’s upper section boasts a unique natural landscape, which has been strictly protected from human intervention over the past 30 years. Here is the kingdom of the brown bear and here are ancient Siberian pine groves. The filmmakers lived in the area for several months while making the film. In Russian with English subtitles. Directed by Vasiliy Sarana. Produced by Riho Västrik. Edited by Liina Trishkina.

THE RETURN OF THE MUSK OX (Russia, 2008, 53 min.) The experiment of repopulating the Taimyr Peninsula with the musk ox, which began thirty years ago, has enriched Arctic biodiversity.

2013 photos: Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Memphis, TN, Jackson, MS [to which I added a week to to visit sites in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee], and Richmond, VA), and my 8th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including sites in Nevada and California). Ego Strokes: Aviva Kempner used my photo of her as her author photo in Larry Ruttman's "American Jews & America's Game: Voices of a Growing Legacy in Baseball" book. Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000 and Nikon D600. Number of photos taken this year: just over 570,000.
