Lakota Wolf Preserve Presented by Unique University and Tamron
OVERVIEW
Take a trip to the Lakota Wolf Preserve with Unique University and Tamron!
Photo opportunities of a lifetime and the experience of watching and listening to packs of Tundra, Timber, and Arctic wolves can be yours! View wolves here in the East in a natural surrounding for the first time in over a century.
There will be numerous opportunities to get unobstructed pictures of the wolves in their natural settings through the "portal openings" in the fencing. Since you will be photographing the wolves where they live, in a stress free environment, you will get the best possible photo opportunities.
In addition, you'll be able to photograph the bobcats and foxes that also reside at the reserve!

Whether it is a dusk lit rock face in Yosemite National Park, barely revealed through a mist of clouds, or an intimate portrait of a colorful New Orlands local, Ken Hubbard's photographs beckon the viewer to look more closely.
Beneath the contemplative solitude of these images lie a disciplined sense of composition and technique. It is a vision that Ken has developed through years of experience as a professional photographer.
Joining Tamron USA, Inc. in 2001, Ken turned his lens toward the American landscape, traveling extensively throughout the United States. Though he had never confined his photography to one genre, it was during this time that he realized the photographers that continually challenged the boundaries of the genre; a snow-covered buffalo staring ominously out of the frame, surreal rock forms in Joshua National Park that appear as if out of a sci-fi film, innumerable variations in light spilling through the depths of Antelope Canyon... Ken had found his calling.
Ken Hubbard continues to work for Tamron as the Advertising and Trade Show Supervisor. In addition to taking photographs for the company - for national and international use, he acts as a trainer for new products and technology, sets up and works on all aspects of Tamron field workshops, and as the title suggests - is a supervisor for all aspects of the industry trade shows. Both on the job and off, you can always find him looking for another unique image to fill his camera's viewfinder.
