My photograph of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird will be on display at the Festival de l’Oiseau et de la Nature, over in Le Crotoy, France, from April 9-17. It’s the Festival of Birds and Nature, for those who don’t know French. What an honor. I feel like a jazzman, appreciated on the Continent.
The Art of Backyard Bird Photography display for my shows, picked up at The Icon the other day. Photograph by Luis Diaz.
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.
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.
Today, at a display at a local bookstore, holding a book about Martin Luther King. Hopefully, next year, I’ll be standing here with my own book about MLK.
