"In 1999 when photographing the timeless ritual of horseshoe crabs 
spawning in the shallow waters of a bay, I realized that these 
ancient creatures offer a window into the past. I decided to explore 
the planet for examples of how time tempers the shape of life on 
earth and how the earth is in turn changed by the life it harbors. 
LIFE is a vision of the past, a celebration of the present, and a 
call to action to make sure there's a future for all of us." - Frans 
Lanting, 2006
