The nice folks at this publication have asked me to write an article for them based on my book Backyard Bird Photography, featuring two photographs, one of an Allen’s Hummingbird at an oriole feeder and one of the “blind” inside my house, from which I photograph the birds. Thanks to Lauren Burnstein, my publicist at Skyhorse Publishing, for setting this up for me, and to Ray David, publisher of Birding Business Magazine, for supporting my efforts. It will be in their summer issue. You can subscribe to this magazine at their website.
I recently gave a binder with the photos from the book to a very special office, and I was there the other day and posed with the binder. The office is filled with great photography books, as well as some vintage prints, such as the one in the background of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Before the SFVAS meeting last night, photographer Dave Collins did a portrait of me holding a printout of my book cover for BACKYARD BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY. The book hasn’t hit the warehouse yet, but I understand a number of thousands of copies have already sold. This is a good omen.
When you mount an exhibition, you have to test your prints. These small ones are looking good. My printer The Icon does a great job, and my printer Luis Diaz really helps a lot with his advice, and by taking a few photos of me, like this one with a Blue Jay from Vermont. The show will have larger prints than these, 10 x 15-inches in frames of 17 x 22-inches. The exhibit will have 30 photos in it. Should be nice.
