Drawn primarily from Aperture magazine with selections from Aperture¿s booklist and online platform, Aperture Conversations celebrates the artist¿s voice, collaborations, and the photography community at large.

In every one of his images, National Geographic photographer Michael "Nick" Nichols touches the very spirit of wildness. A Wild Life tells the stories behind the stories in the life and work of this intrepid photographer; it also delivers a call to action, grounded in one of the most urgent ethical issues of this era: humans' accountability to the earth and our cohabitants here.I love Nick because of his bravery and love of animals. I love the way he's able to integrate himself into the lives of animals in their habitats. He becomes part of them, which is extraordinary; no one else does that. He's not showing us anything sentimental about animals. He's a realist. So we're seeing the intimate side of the lives of animals. I'm amazed he can do that. He's patient. Nick's work is wonderful. I love the fact that he's able to show us that intimacy.¿Mary Ellen Mark, author of Tiny: Streetwise Revisited and Man and Beast
