They are doing an article about hummingbird gardening and butterfly gardening. I had a nice chat today with writer Kristina Mastrocola of Woman’s World and it brought back memories of working on these books. She asked some good questions about how to set up gardens for the hummingbirds and butterflies and we also talked about photography. The article will appear around May 12 and it will be widely available on newsstands. I’m looking forward to it. I was describing to Kristina the wide-brimmed hat I wear to hide me from the hummingbirds, and I decided to send her this photo to show what it’s like. That’s me at my garden in Adamant, VT.
Some prints at my printer The Icon in LA, then me with labels to put on the back of the matted photographs for the Santa Monica Mountains Visitor Center exhibition in July 2016. Photos of me by Luis Diaz.
Wow, it’s good to have friends like James Lee Stern, who photographed me with my Tunnel View photo, just published in the 2016 Yosemite Sierra Visitors Guide. Thanks to Rhonda Salisbury of the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau and Lisa Baker of the Sierra Star for their support of my photography. Yosemite is my favorite place in the whole wide world.
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY? just arrived, along with a collector’s item, a business card that Martin Luther King’s publisher gave him in 1967 to put in the books that he gave to special people. The card and the book are both in great shape.
An African-American friend of mine visited the other day because she wanted to see my book on MLK, and she took this photo of me with his great book WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY?, which is featured in my “fairy tale” about MLK and a couple of kids in 1967. The themes of his book are as relevant today as they were then.
