Adventures

Across the wide world

Follow a lifetime of hunting and outdoor experiences across some of the world’s most remarkable landscapes.

01 — Region

North America

High country basins, desert ranges, and northern wilderness — the landscapes where a lifetime of hunting began.

North America is where it began. Beginning in 1973, Shannon hunted and photographed across the continent’s high country, deserts, and northern wilderness.

These are the landscapes returned to season after season — the ones that teach patience, and that make long-term change in habitat and wildlife populations visible to anyone paying attention.

02 — Region

Africa

Savanna, thornveld, and the wildlife encounters that reshaped Shannon’s understanding of wild places.

Africa expanded the scope of a lifetime afield. Savanna and thornveld brought encounters with wildlife on a scale that reframed Shannon’s understanding of wild country. The photographs from these journeys are among the most striking in Living on the Edge.

03 — Region

Mexico

Arid mountains and desert country, hunted and photographed across many seasons.

Mexico’s arid mountains and desert country offered a different kind of hunting — sparse, demanding, and visually spectacular.

The region features in the book alongside the wildlife and landscapes that define it.

04 — Region

New Zealand

Steep tussock ridges and deep valleys at the far edge of the map.

New Zealand’s steep tussock ridges and deep valleys sit at the far edge of the map from Washington State.

The country’s terrain demands as much as any hunting Shannon has done, and rewards it with some of the most dramatic scenery in the book.
