Wildlife Photographer Dennis Fast Dennis is an avid birder both casually and competitively with a prime interest in nature photography. Until June of 1998, Dennis was a public school principal in Southern Manitoba. During school breaks and holidays, he could be found with his camera in tow pursuing his passion - wildlife photography. The majesty of our earth has been captured through the eye of his camera lens. Over the years Dennis has been a frequent guest on CBC Radio answering callers' questions about birds. He has also been interviewed for television on a number of occasions on a variety of birding and conservation topics. Dennis has conducted numerous photographic workshops and been a guest presenter at photographic conferences across Canada. A significant number of Dennis's pictures can be found in "Pelicans to Polar Bears", a wildlife viewing guide to Manitoba, in several calendars and other publications including his recently published book on polar bears, "Wapusk: White Bear of the North" with Rebecca Grambo, and "Magical, Mysterious Lake of the Woods" with Heather Robertson. Dennis has traveled extensively across Canada, Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, Greenland, Iceland, and the USA in pursuit of photographs. |

"It was a real treat to see and share in the passion you and your staff so obviously feel toward the North. Your stories about the early aboriginal inhabitants, and the explorers and trappers who followed them, made history come alive." |
|
"No one could visit your camp without a new respect for God's country and all who have dared to call it home." |

"Let's hope that the Thelon watershed remains a sanctuary for generations to come, especially for the wildlife and plants, which thrive only when given room to breath." |

"I have traveled to many places in Canada and other parts of the world, but few have stirred me so deeply as the tundra and the wildlife at Whitefish Lake." "In my mind I am back there already." Dennis Fast |
