  A masters' meeting

In March of 2005, Alberto Patrian and the Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, if had found some contacts after, in a tourist ranch close to Punta Norte and had decided to make together some photographic taking that registered the behaviors of the marine mammal Orca. Salgado its cronograma changed a little to photograph in Punta Norte, to be together with Alberto Patrian, that is one expert in photographing the Orca whale. Armed with its photographic equipment, if they had directed for the wastelands beaches of the Punta Norte, that is one of the most beautiful ecological reserves of the Valdés Peninsula, where also live diverse groups of marine wolves (loberias). The Orca has as the one of the alimentary habits hunting to these marine wolves, carrying out scenes of intense dramaticidade and movement, consisting therefore in excellent subjects for the photographer. Salgado and Patrian had been together for about one month, getting innumerable images of the habits of the Orca. Salgado it was getting these photographs to compose a project that it is initiating in the Patagônia and it will have to be extender about ten years of photographic registers for some parts of the world.
