Grizzly Bear Cubs

Grizzly Cubs are unpredictable. At one moment they look at you with their intrigued eyes, and suddenly run away scared at unknown behavior. These two seven-month-old cubs thought that holding hands would make the danger disappear.

Tube Anemone, Bali

This large tube anemone, photographed in Tulamben, Bali, stood high off the black-sand bottom, allowing me to shoot its spectacular tentacles from below and capture its graceful movement. The flashlight highlighted the anemone’s dazzling luminance, while the setting sun added a sense of atmosphere.
Starry Sky, Washington

Driving home over the Waterville Plateau, a waxing sliver of a moon that feel early below the horizon made for a perfect moment of stargazing. What was even more eerie though, was that the wind had completely stopped also. Even from about 30 fee up a small embankment I could hear my shutter trip for a 25-second exposure. The lights on the horizon, shining from over 70 miles away, were the city lights of Ephrata and Moses Lake, Washington.

life:
New York City’s history is a seemingly endless story, from the wide-eyed immigrants of Ellis Island to today’s caffeinated commuters buzzing through subway stations. The new book New York: Portrait of a City gives the city an impeccable tribute, devoting 600 pages to documenting the Big Apple through the eyes of 150 world-class photographers, including Esther Bubley, Paul Himmel, LIFE’s Alfred Eisenstaedt, among others. Here, images from the book that capture New York and a handful of its 8 million stories. Pictured: the main concourse at Grand Central Terminal in a photo from 1929.
