Yesterday, I met with my printer Luis Diaz to get some test prints ordered for my upcoming exhibition at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York. Jamestown is the legendary Peterson’s hometown, and I’m honored to be chosen to show my bird photographs there. It’s going to be a really great event. Thanks to Luis Diaz for taking the photo of me, with my marvelous Ruby-throated Hummingbirds in the background on the computer screen. Yes, they’ll be in the show.
After the SFVAS board meeting, photographer Jackie Wollner was kind enough to take a picture of me holding a print of the book cover. The book probably exists by now and is being shipped from China.
The helicopters were overhead for about a half hour. They checked out Lear’s house and flew over to Dennis Tito’s across the canyon to the right. LA is in the background. This is the view from my house, where I have my bird garden. Pretty amazing that I have all this nature so close to what I believe is the greatest city in the world.
Saw a nice exhibit today on Ansel Adams and on Queen Victoria’s photography collection. Then saw the American Crow chasing after a Red-tailed Hawk, just after getting off the tram at the end of the day. Photo of me by Ron Wong.
I’m reading about Roger Tory Peterson’s involvement with the National Audubon Society back in the day. It’s nice to contribute to my local chapter by being on the board and taking a few photos from time to time. I also took a portrait of Scott Logan, owner of Wild Wings, the store where we had our meeting.
I stopped the shutter down to 1/30 second and held on tightly as the bus sped into view causing a blur. Sense of motion, with the word “Splendid” above the store just fitting in. Rocky and Bullwinkle are indeed splendid on the marquee.
