B.N. (Bobbie) Sullivan has a strong affinity for the sea and everything in it. She first learned to dive in 1970 and has since logged thousands of dives. A wish to document the marine life she encountered prompted her to learn underwater photography more than 20 years ago. More recently, she began to write about the marine life she has photographed. A research psychologist by profession, she approaches her subject matter with the mindset of a scientist, but targets her writing to a general readership in whom she hopes to foster an appreciation for the ocean and its inhabitants.

Today's New York Times is carrying a profile of myrmecologist Anna Dornhaus. It is nice to see Anna's work receiving such attention, great and important, blah blah blah, but the really important part is this. The editors had the excellent taste to illustrate their piece with some ant and bee photographs of mine.
The online edition also hosts an ant slide show to accompany the story. The Times trimmed the 22 photos I suggested down to an efficient 15, but I've preserved the director's cut here. For reasons unknown they decided against the queen ant shots. And against the amazing gliding Cephalotes.
All the same, I'm happy. This is my photographic debut in the print version of the Times, and they've done good work with it.

Congratulations! You have to admire a newspaper that runs articles and slide shows like this.

I just looked at the directors cut. Great stuff.
I don't see any suspension wires...
So just how did you manage a photograph of a falling,gliding ant?

Don't forget to update your profile: "such venues as Ranger Rick.... and a small-town newspaper, The New York Times"

Congratulations and keep up the great work! Don't forget to add "shown in numerous educational presentations given nationally to pest control operators" to your list of kudos! Thank you for being so generous, Janet

Great shots! I still have to figure out how to get my own photography into NY Times, but from reading the intro, I learned that apparently the "blowing up my ego enough" part needs some more work in my case... ;-)
