.jpg) JIM BRANDENBURG
Minnesota is home to one of the most prolific wildlife photographers in the world. An internationally acclaimed nature photographer and established environmentalist, this quiet and contemplative photographer began his creative journey as a newspaper photojournalist before he became a contract photographer for National Geographic Magazine in 1978.
Over the course of his long career, Brandenburg has received a multitude of prestigious national and international honors for his work. The National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) twice named him Magazine Photographer of the Year for his National Geographic magazine work. He was named Kodak Wildlife Photographer of the Year by BBC Wildlife Magazine and the Natural History Museum-London, and was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award by the North American Nature Photographers Association (NANPA). Brandenburg was a Hasselblad Master in 2002, a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens in 2001, and Canon Explorer of Light 2005-08.
 MICHAEL MONROE
Michael's unique creation of Minnesota Northwoods-inspired music leaves his audiences mesmerized as he blends his rich vocals, guitar, bamboo and glass flutes, combining musical styles of acoustic folk and jazzy reggae. Michael's original music and compelling energy bring a powerful style that is as much fun as it is innovative...music and technology working together powered by creativity... and he recycles ("loops") his music LIVE on stage.
His instrumental music is seen across the nation on PBS and Canada in the award winning documentary, "Chased By The Light", about Jim Brandenburg.
THE ARTISTS AS A DUO
Both artists live on the North Shore of Minnesota and have a love of Minnesota as well as the awe-inspiring beauty of the nature found in the state. With similar interests and passion for wildlife and nature, these two artists are good friends who work together to create a collaborative presentation that combines Brandenburg's visuals and stories together with Monroe's inspiring acoustics.
