Michio Hoshino, a photographer known for his pictures of bears and other wildlife, was mauled to death by a brown bear on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Russia. He was in his mid-40?s and lived in Fairbanks, Alaska.
This is the last photo he took.-lies-Intense. Fantastic photo, wonder if he’d consider it his best.
fake fake fake. i’ve demonstrated why before and every time i see this image come up i’m going to repost why it’s a fake:
can i call it? it’s fake.
first of all: wrong kind of bear. that’s a (fake) grizzly. notice the cranial shape and the silvertip fur. also: grizzly bears are only found in north america (OOPS! kind of a major oversight for this purported story).
second: he was killed while sleeping at around 4am (article date: 9-22-96), in august, which is at the very end of the midnight sun phase (the sun ain’t that high and hard).
third: the earth does not have three suns, as the highlights in this photograph would lead one to believe. (i’m a gaffer, i get paid well to light things believably/match light sources … this is just a wonky mess of composited images).
fourth: nobody i have ever known in my history of remote camping or hiking/wilderness survival has ever slept with the tentfly tied open.
fifth: kamchatka vodka tastes like rubbing alcohol mixed with old spice and kerosene.
lastly: read about this guy instead. much better story.
carry on.
seriously, let everyone who posts this cgi fakery know that they’re being duped and the above image is a composite of the interior of a tent, a grizzly bear’s body, and a wholly seperate grizzly bear’s head (the image used is actually the FIRST DAMN RESULT when you search google images for “grizzly”).
fuckin’ kids, i swear…
