The Team
 
Mike Hettwer
Mike Hettwer has been the photographer on our last three dinosaur expeditions. He and longtime PE supporter Glen Ostgaard designed the high-speed satellite system that is used to send hundreds of stories, photos, and e-mails back to Project Exploration and National Geographic from the field.

Mike specializes in unique cultures and getting difficult pictures. He has photographed the Dogon in Mali, hill tribes in Myanmar, Khmer villagers, the Wodaabe in Niger and Sadhus in Nepal and India. Other experiences include being in car that rolled down a hill at 80 mph in Syria, two weeks in the Amazon with the Shuar Indians (inventors of head
shrinking) and shooting rocket launchers with the Cambodian Army.

His work has appeared in over 400 magazines, newspapers, books, web sites, and includes National Geographic magazine, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun Times and USA Today.

Previously Mike ran several technology-related companies.
