The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents
  Naturescape Gallery
Close Encounters of the Ocean Kind; a Photographic Journey
with
  John J. King ll


BREWSTER, MA ­ Naturescape Gallery at the Cape 
Cod Museum of Natural History is proud to present 
photographer, explorer, author, and Chatham 
conservationist John King September 1 through October 31st 2016.

John King has been fascinated with the natural 
movements of wildlife, of all species as they 
make their yearly and sometimes bi-yearly 
migrations going about their business of life 
around the planet. Cape Cod is a unique 
laboratory to observe birds, marine mammals, fish 
and even insects in pristine natural surroundings 
and why he has chosen to live here.

Ever since the ground breaking BBC documentary 
Planet Earth debuted in 2007 featuring the 
astounding white shark breaching imagery shot in 
South Africa, King has been obsessed with seeing 
this absolutely perfect apex predator in the 
wild. This obsession has taken him around the 
world to South Africa, Mexico, and South 
Australia to observe study and record the 
behavior of sharks, especially white sharks, over 
the past seven years. Imagine his absolute joy to 
wake up one day in 2009 and learn that these 
predators actually occur here on Cape Cod! Life 
has not been the same since that moment.

John is an entrepreneur with a diverse resume, 
who has strong ties to Cape Cod that span many 
generations. He has been pursuing a lifelong 
passion to experience and record the earth’s wild 
places and wild things through his photography. 
Locally he is the skipper of the R/v Aleutian 
Dream which is facilitating the white shark 
population study currently being conducted by the 
Massachusetts Shark Research Program with support 
from the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy in 
outer Cape waters. He is also a co-founder 
together with his wife Pam, of The Common Flat 
Project, a conservation organization dedicated to 
creating awareness of the importance of earth’s 
biodiversity especially on Cape Cod. Their first 
book entitled: Wild Cape Cod, Free by Nature was 
published by Schiffer Publishing in 2012.

  Free with Museum Admission / September hours: 
Daily 11am – 3pm / October hours:  Wed. – Sun. 11am – 3pm
