The Oldest Living Things in the World

I learned about a photographer who travels the world taking pictures of millennium old organisms- the oldest living organisms in the world. She has gone in forests, caves, underwater, and in the arctic to capture these organisms. She claims to shoot them like portraits of a person in order to create a personal connection between the viewer and the image. This site relates to photography because she explains how she used photography and research to share these organisms with the world. The images are not savable so I cannot copy my favorite onto here, but is is of a very large tree surrounded by jungle. There are no rules of photography evident, but the subject is enticing enough to make the image good.
