June 30th, 2014 marked the 150th anniversary of the Yosemite Grant, the 1864 bill signed by Abraham Lincoln – in the midst of the Civil War, which set aside in perpetuity the world’s first parkland for public use. Seed of the Future by Dayton Duncan, elaborates on how the national park idea was born and […]

One month ago, I returned to the National Heritage Museum in Lexington for a second artist lecture. I’d like to thank the almost 200 attendees who came although the weather outside was great this day. The event was initially going to coincide with the closing of “Treasured Lands”. However the museum has decided to extend […]

Treasured Lands, the exhibition of my 58 images of the National Parks at the National Heritage Museum (Lexington MA) initially scheduled to close in Fall 2010, then Spring 2011, has been extended a second time, until Sept 10, 2011. I will deliver another lecture on that closing day at 2pm (museum website). As the 2010 […]

As many of my readers know, the exhibit Treasured Lands, currently at the National Heritage Museum, consists of natural, awe-inspiring National Parks landscapes big and small, mostly untouched by man. I have began to post those images to my new Facebook page, in the same sequence, and with the same comments as in the exhibit. […]

On Saturday, I took a break from my work on Yosemite (more on it latter). I first headed to 49 Geary, a building near Union Square, where several floors are occupied by world class art galleries, giving you the opportunity to see a variety of art in a single location. The main draw of the […]

A dozen of my images from Vietnam are on display in the ISSI Carnavale exhibit at the Northeastern University’s Gallery360 from February 22 to March 20, 2010. I was not able to attend the opening, however, I will give a lecture, scheduled at 3:00 pm on Friday, March 12th. In Vietnamese, the same word is […]

Tired of seeing images of the US National Parks ? Ten of my images from India are on display in the lobby of the Balboa Theater, in the Richmond District of San Francisco, until early March. It is clearly not possible to portray a multi-religious, multi-lingual, multi-ethic, and multi-cultural country of over one billion people […]

This past Saturday, I dived one of the most beautiful sites I had seen. Although I had done three trips to the California Channel Islands before, I had never gotten into the water there. Part of the reason was that, being used to diving in warm waters, my only diving experiences in California, near Monterey, […]
