Photography on the Fly with Margie Patlak, Online only Online
Join us online for “Photography on the Fly: Exploring Wild and Wondrous Maine While Hiking, Biking, Kayaking, Skiing, Skating, and Balancing on Slippery Seaweed-Covered Rocks.” with Margie Patlak. Register below for this event. REGISTER BELOW.
Award-winning science writer, memoirist, and photographer Margie Patlak will talk about what inspired her to take the Maine nature photos that comprise her newly published photobook Wild and Wondrous: Nature's Artistry on the Coast of Maine, and her photography-on-the-fly process using an iPhone. The talk will include a visual tour of the book, with examples from each of its 10 chapters, which cover rocks, islands, fog, clouds, flora and fauna and other key elements of the Maine landscape.
Patlak will also provide some of the scientific background to appreciate the photos she presents, including the amazing photosynthesizing capabilities of spotted salamander embryos, and the powerful geologic forces that created the black basalt dykes that are so prevalent on the Schoodic peninsula. Readers of Patlak’s previous book More Than Meets the Eye: Exploring Nature and Loss on the Coast of Maine will recognize many of the featured photos as they depict scenes she described in that award-winning nature memoir.
