Greeting fine Photography Friends!

The year is flying by! November already! The fall colors are looking good in some places, and already, some trees have dropped all their leaves and are ready for winter.

Speaking about Fall Colors! Challenge night is November 6th. Show us some images you captured of Fall colors and share them with us this coming Thursday!

November 13th is Education Night. This month Alex has lined up Professional Photographer Michael E. Gordon.

Michael E. Gordon is an award-winning photographic artist best known for his
black and white images from California’s deserts which, said Broughton Quarterly,
portray “stunning ethereal beauty from terrain where others see only a bleak
landscape.” A lifelong student of nature and wilderness adventurer, Michael’s
intimate relationship with the natural world results in quiet images of depth and
discovery. His relationship with and photography of America’s deserts spans more
than 25 years.
Michael’s work has been widely published, exhibited, and collected and can be
found in the private collections of the United States Embassy, Kaiser Permanente;
Milken Family Foundation; The Wilderness Society, and many others. His
photographs and articles have in LensWork, Outdoor Photographer, B+W
Photography (UK); Elements; Medium Format; On Landscape (UK); View Camera;
Rangefinder; Broughton Quarterly; Arte Fotográfico, Backpacker; and many more.
His work has been awarded by the International Photography Awards, Prix de la
Photographie Paris, and Black & White Spider Awards.
Michael lives in Southern California with his wife Shauna. Besides his
photography, he likes to indulge in hard hiking, mountain summits, bird watching,
reading and collecting books, and natural history studies.
