An Evening with Ian Adams, garden photographer and author

Reminder – Register Early

Royal Botanical Gardens is extending a special invitation to you and your members to two great Digital Photography events with world renowned garden and environmental photographer, Ian Adams. Ian specializes in natural, rural, historical and garden photography. Since 1985, more than 5,000 of his colour photographs have been published in books, posters, calendars, magazines and other publications.

Ian has carried out garden photography assignments for landscape designers and for Fine Gardening, Family Circle, Horticulture, Midwest Living and Organic Gardening magazines. Each year Ian drives more than 15,000 miles in search of new images of gardens, natural areas and historic sites. Ian hopes that his photographs can serve as a legacy to help create greater awareness of these irreplaceable resources for future generations. Join us for either or both of these programs:

A New Season Upon Us

Before you know it, a new season will be upon us, and the executive strive to bring you a full and exciting new program. But as you can apprciate, nothing good can take place without the hardwork that goes into delivering these programs without our valued volunteers.

We are now accepting applications for committee volunteers and nominations for main executive positions. If you're interested please email John Wallace at ziggydoodle@rogers.com by August 31.

The new executive team will be presented and voted on by members present at our 1st meeting of the season Thursday September 3, 2009.

Marking Time and Place

We always look for ways to support fellow club members. In September, Beach Photo Club member Felicity will be opening a new exhibit of photographic images, Marking Time and Place, at galleryDK on Queen St. West. Although the exhibit will run from 3 to 27 Setpember, Felicity wanted to invite you personally to the Opening Party.

What: Marking Time and Place
When: Thursday, 3 September from 7-10 p.m.
Where: galleryDK, 1332 Queen St.W. Toronto.


RSVP: 416 778 8852, or felicity.somerset@rogers.com by 1 September (so that I can make catering plans)

These new images are more urban and edgy than my previous work and larger in size. However, the connection between the past and the new work is quite clear as you will see from the attached image from a previous exhibit, Tree Markers.

Nikon Announces 2 new bodies!
