Philip Hyde: Messages from the Wilderness

Philip Hyde from Lumière on Vimeo.

Philip Hyde has shown what can be done via photography to shed light and awareness on our precious natural resources.
Celebrate his life and look for his show now on view at the Lumiere Gallery in Atlanta. Watch the video to get a glimpse of his message.

I regularly support conservation and environmental awareness issues through the medium of photography. We all need to get the word or image out to the public in order to influence change and/or preservation. This is the right kind of propaganda.

Milestone not gravestone

I turn 60 today.  As you can see, I have much monkeying around to do.

If you know me, then you know there is a lot of life left in the tank and I intend to fully use it all.  It just keeps getting better.

It is a day of celebration for me and I want to thank everyone for their warm wishes, cards, flowers, support and thoughts.  I have so many good friends.

Thank you so much!

(If you know who took this picture using Art’s camera, please let us know.  You were on the China Photo Workshop this year.)
