Michio Hoshino, a most famous wildlife photographer, died very tragically
last year from an attack of a polar bear in Kamchatka, Russia while
exercising his profession. It seems Olympus has used his images now and
then, the backlit brown bear in the OM4Ti brochure (english, german
versions) shaking off water after a swim being on of them. To my knowledge,
Hoshino always used Nikon equipment, but who knows, maybe he had an affair
with Olympus?
