Cook Island paddlers
Jacqueline Windh's first book "The Wild Edge", a 160-page photographic study of Vancouver Island's wild west coast, will be released in November (www.harbourpublishing.com).

The main themes of her work continue to be wilderness and adventure, the environment, and indigenous people. Her ability to make contacts quickly and her facility with languages put her into situations where she can capture unique images. Exciting new projects will keep her travelling for most of 2005:

- January to March in Chilean Patagonia, with likely side-trips to Argentina and Peru.
- May in Hawai'i.
- June through September on British Columbia's outer coast.
- Late 2005 south Pacific (Cook Islands, Tahiti and more).

Jacqueline normally travels with both digital and 35 mm equipment. If you are interested in stock or assigned images from these or other destinations, please contact her.
