I got a couple of the pieces framed to check out how they look. This is a nice size. It’s going to be an unlimited, signed edition of 6 x 9-inches images in frames and in mats with plastic bags around them. The Roger Tory Peterson Institute collection hits the road.
Thanks to Jane Johnson for taking these photos. Still can’t believe how lucky I was to have this show. Top: Blue Jay. Bottom: American Goldfinch. Both taken in Vermont, 2012.
MASS AUDUBON BROADMOOR WILDLIFE SANCTUARY—Exhibition of my Roger Tory Peterson Institute collection of bird photographs entitled “The Art of Backyard Bird Photography,” from my book BACKYARD BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY (Scheduled for 2016)
I’m very excited about this. I want the RTPI collection to travel and be seen by lots of people. Thanks to the Broadmoor for their interest in working together in 2016.
Preparing for a show is always interesting. Here, at the printer The Icon in Los Angeles, along with Luis Diaz, who took these photos, we sized and test framed a couple of the hummingbird images for the Santa Monica Mountains Visitor Center next July. Yes, well in advance, but it pays to do things when you can. You never know when you might need the images, so I like to get it all together as soon as I can after getting the go-ahead for a show. Thanks to the Roger Tory Peterson Institute for giving my this show of 30 images earlier this year. These images are smaller than the RTPI show, as they are designed for point-of-purchase sales to visitors to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. Great to be involved in nature and conservation, what I’ve always strived to do in my life. 
Wow, does that look great. Thanks to Jane Johnson of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute for taking some photos of my framed, limited editions that were displayed there from January 13 through March 8, 2015. 
Jane Johnson is the Communications & Public Programs Coordinator at the RTPI and she took these photos of my exhibit. The RTPI has done a wonderful job of presenting my bird photographs. I can’t thank them enough! For those of you who don’t know, Roger Tory Peterson was the greatest bird artist since John James Audubon, and I am honored to be in his company for this exhibit.
