Cracroft Point Whale Research Station on Johnson Strait  [50°33′ N & 126°40′ W]

The work of OrcaLab is centred on the philosophy that it is possible to study the wild without interfering with lives or habitat. A network of hydrophones, positioned around the orcas’ “core habitat”, help monitor their movements all year round.  Supplementing the acoustic data are visual sightings of orcas as they pass OrcaLab, and reports from land observation sites staffed by OrcaLab volunteers during the summer, as well as, reports from other researchers and whale watchers who share observations and information.

This past summer, Anji transformed her Commercial Drive sitting room into a series of massive chemical baths with one very impressive diffuser enlarger. The event lasted until the cool evenings of autumn. The results are a stunning collection of limited edition large scale archival prints. Anji’s focus was unshakable!

The vernissage was the harvest of her summer printing project. It was just great – there was much fun had!

ANJI & DJL, OAXACA 1998

It was 5:30! Monte Albán was closed yet the light was sweet and bright and alive. We were way across the site and 1,300 ft from the valley floor, we just wanted to stay a moment longer, so we did!

Oaxaca being so close to the equator [17.043° N, 96.767°W] has but 12 hours of light to live by, once it got rather quiet and full of spirits we decided to find our way to the gate, which was super tall & locked. We had heard nasty stories of those who lurk around after dark near the Danzantes’ stones. A guard spotted us and released us from the mystery.

We skipped all the way down the hill.
