Story / Additional InfoThis color photograph by Thomas Mangelsen called "The Peace Dance", is signed by Thomas Mangelsen and Jane Goodall. It commemorates the day (March 19, 2003) when Mangelsen and Goodall, together on the banks of the Platte River in Nebraska, witnessed the annual migration of sandhill cranes and snow geese. For 2 hours Jane and Thomas watched thousands in cranes in the cornfield near Tom's cabin. When reflecting on the experience, Jane said "cranes are symbols of peace in many cultures and suddenly I felt sure they were bringing us a message--that although there will be dark days ahead, in the end peace will return to the Earth."

Thomas Mangelsen - United States

Art Brokerage: Thomas D. Mangelsen American Photographer: Thomas D. Mangelsen spent his formative years along the banks of the Platte River hunting and fishing, Tom Mangelsen's understanding of the natural world stems from a childhood rich in outdoor adventures. Tom grew up exploring the Nebraska landscape with his brothers Bill, David, and Hal, many times at their father Harold's side. Handcrafting his first frames with David in their garage, Tom bucked convention of what was traditionally considered "art" and opened his first gallery in Jackson, Wyoming in 1978, featuring signed, limited edition prints in the tradition of wildlife artists such as Owen Gromme, an early mentor. Garnering attention from early collectors led to more exhibitions; his work is now offered in sixteen Images of Nature galleries across the United States. Tom's accolades and critical acclaim range from being named BBC's "Wildlife Photographer of the Year" in 1994 and the North American Nature Photographer's "Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year" in 2000, to the recipient of a Royal Photographic Society Honorary Fellowship in 2002. In 2005, he was named "One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography" by American Photo Magazine, one of only two wildlife-environmental photographers selected for the list. Tom's photography has also been published in leading magazines such as Audubon, National Geographic, Life, Wildlife Art and National Wildlife and featured on television programs from The Today Show and Good Morning America, to CNN's World News and ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
