Description of Pictures: How Animals Adapt to Their Environment
Kate Samworth grew up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Her book, "Aviary Wonders Inc. Spring Catalog and Instruction Manual" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), is a faux-catalog with an ecological subtext that purports to replace extinct bird species with build-a-bird automatons. Kate was introduced to art by her mother, who is also an artist, and to ecology by her father, who worked for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Travel has had an important influence on her life and art. Her study of Portuguese led her to Brazil, where she discovered a passion for birdwatching. She lived in New Orleans for many years, and it was the temporary absence of birds following Hurricane Katrina that inspired her first book, "Aviary Wonders Inc." She now lives in Charlottesville, Va., and is an ardent spokesperson for environmental protection and preservation.

Lola M. Schaefer is the author of many books for children of all ages and the winner of a Charlotte Zolotow Honor and the Children’s Choice Book Award. Several of her titles explore her wonder and fascination with the natural world, including "Lifetime" (Chronicle Books) and "Just One Bite." She lives with her husband, Ted, in the mountains of northern Georgia where she enjoys reading, writing, gardening and hiking.

2014 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Winchester, VA, Nashville, TN, and Atlanta, GA), Michigan to visit mom in the hospice before she died and then a return trip after she died, and my 9th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, Sacramento, Oakland, and Los Angeles). Ego strokes: Paul Dickson used one of my photos as the author photo in his book "Aphorisms: Words Wrought by Writers". Number of photos taken this year: just over 470,000.
