With Robert Iger and Galapagos Birds

Written by Mathew Tekulsky on December 25, 2020. Posted in Screenwriting

With the great Robert A. Iger, Executive Chairman of the Walt Disney Company, yesterday, and “our” book GALAPAGOS BIRDS: A PHOTOGRAPHIC VOYAGE! Bob wrote the blurb on the back cover of the book, which reads, “Mathew Tekulsky has a wonderful eye and a true passion for the beauty and wonder of birds, as this lovely book so clearly demonstrates.” I thank Bob so much for his support of my artistic endeavors and for his insight into the need for environmental preservation, which is the primary reason I have devoted so much of my life to photographing birds. This photograph of Bob and myself was taken by Bob’s son, Max Iger. Thank you, Max!
