Gallery Show with the Center for Fine Art Photography

I am pleased to announce that one of my favorite images is part of a Gallery Exhibition at the Center for Fine Art Photography. Out of over 2000 images, Ghost of the Woodstork (from the series Avian Wilds) was chosen.

I am especially excited as controversy continues to surround the Wood stork's current status as endangered versus threatened. One of the few remaining birds that have lived here for centuries, I express my disappointment in developers for pursuing the Wood stork as an obstacle to more development in the Everglades. As Florida's economy is stretched beyond thin, I'm watching the choices regarding the recent purchase of US Sugar's land made by South Florida Water Management with my breathe held. We can not afford any further development; Preserve and Restore.

Summer is here in South Florida

I spent a good part of yesterday at the beach. I say this not to incur any jealousy, but to remind myself that as summer is finally here in South Florida. To most, summer brings welcome warm weather, seasonal shops, tourists, and the like. Here in Florida that usually means rain mixed with muggy hot, hot days. I spend more days inside at the computer working on archiving, optimizing, and putting images together. As much as I love being in the field, I am looking forward to this summer as my studio begins to expand. I have my first book coming out this summer, entitled "Avian Wilds." My personal photography work is primarily conservation based. This particular series is a focus on South Florida's birds. I just sent the final proofing off to the publisher! Keep you posted.
