Our Speaker will be Townsend Dickinson.
*Migrants, Here and There, Intimate Encounters with Birds of Passage.*
Are you ready for spring migration? We hope you are, this photo talk
will help get the juices flowing. Townsend Dickinson will take us on a
visual odyssey, venturing to productive birding areas in the Americas to
experience birds on migration. He will share intimate photos of life
forms whose world is virtually hemispheric. The focus will be mostly
warblers and other songbirds, with a smattering of other species. His
photographs depict real birds; the intent is to capture a feel for a
bird of passage, coping with the daily challenges on migration.
Townsend has been chasing bird migrants with a camera for over thirty
years. It has been a driven, long-term quest, which has yielded
occasional seconds of blessed opportunity, here and there, to create
these compelling images.
Townsend Dickinson is currently a photo consultant specializing in
professional educational and natural history photography and lives in
Connecticut with his wife Mardi and cat Willy. He has been in the
professional photography industry for 35 years. He recently left a photo
management position at McGraw-Hill Education to start his consultancy
and has worked in the past with several major stock photography sources.
He is also an accomplished natural history photographer and he has had
hundreds of photos published nationally and internationally including
Audubon, National Geographic, Natural History, Newsweek, and Time
magazines. Townsend is a founding member of NANPA (North America Nature
Photography Association) and was National President of the ASPP
(American Society of Picture Professionals). He has written for photo
trade publications and has presented a number of photography lectures
for bird organizations
