Land & sea portraits of plants and animals by legendary fine art photographers & award winning environmentalists David Liittschwager and Susan Middleton. Images from the main & Northwestern Hawaiian Islands together for the first time. David Liittschwager and Susan Middleton have been photographing endangered animals and plants since 1986. Their collaborative work has appeared in REMAINS OF A RAINBOW: Rare Plants and Animals of Hawai‘i (National Geographic Books, 2001), WITNESS: Endangered Species of North America (Chronicle Books, 1994), and HERE TODAY: Portraits of Our Vanishing Species (Chronicle Books, 1991). Their work was the subject of “America’s Endangered Species: Don’t Say Goodbye,” an Emmy Award–winning National Geographic television special, and they were the joint recipients of a Bay & Paul Foundations Biodiversity Leadership Award. Middleton’s and Liittschwager’s photographs have been exhibited and published throughout the world, both in fine art and natural history contexts.
