Jeff Black: is a member of the Micron Photo Club since the startup, but he's been dabbling around photographing his experiences for a long time.  He remembers annoying his parents taking candid snapshots with a 110 film camera as they arrived home from a workday or playing historian during his time in the local scout troop.  While the tendency was to document the more magical travel experiences over time, perhaps a more in depth study started with an early Olympus digital camera and writing web pages in an early blog like post for a trip to the Everest base camp area.  This cascaded in time to a Nikon DSLR, a pocket Canon for running, and lately a Fuji mirrorless.  Now he has finally broken and also acquired an iPhone which can be useful too.  In recent years he has turned his lens more often to birds near and far while teamed up with his wife Dondi who often leads field trips for the local Audubon chapter.  The photos are often coupled with novellas covering travel and various forms of self propelled motion, mainly ultrarunning, which are compiled into a blog for personal context and maybe for someone to even read.

 

His presentation to the photo club will cover his first visit to Costa Rica last year, titled Costa Rica:  Visions in the Rainforest.  There will be a number of colorful birds but also frogs, sloths, flowers, and a reptile or two, all of which made an impression and he hopes to return someday.  Perhaps you too may be inspired to visit this place of fantastic natural wonders that many call home.
