On the evening of February 16, we’re planning to show Pic2 photos of the Exploratorium & Palace of Fine Arts. This is part of the Exploring Photography program.
That evening, however, we will also be having a special show of nature photography!
Club member Rebecca Jackrel is back from a remote, mountainous, and beautiful part of Africa. She’s recently spent some time there taking photos of the rare Ethiopian Wolf. This wolf in an endangered species, and Rebecca’s work is part of an important conservation project to save this animal from extinction.
When it comes to nature photography, Rebecca’s is the “real deal”. We are in for a treat! Plan on inviting a friend or two to see this special show.
The Palace of Fine Arts is located at 3601 Lyon Street in the Marina district off highway 101 near the Golden Gate Bridge. Outdoor photos are possible at every angle. Its beauty stands out against the sky and is reflected in the nearby pond. Inside the Exploratorium are plenty of gadgets to photograph within the 600 exhibits. You may also want to capture groups of visitors interacting with museum docents leading demonstrations involving life sciences. If you haven’t been to the museum lately, this is an excellent opportunity to check it out again before it moves to Pier 15 next year.
Admission: Adult (18-64) $15.00, Seniors (65+) $12.00.
Afterwards, lets meet at the museum cafe around 11:15AM.

At this meeting we are lucky enough to have photographer James A. Martin presenting on the theme of his book The Islands of San Francisco Bay.
The Islands of San Francisco Bay is James Martin’s vision. A Bay Area native, the idea to produce a book that would cover ALL the islands in this great Bay came to him in the early 90′s while as a photojournalist he was shooting island images for various nature and ecological publications.
More than just a pretty coffee-table companion, he envisioned a voluminous reference book that would draw the reader in with imagery and keep them there with rich stories.
A long-awaited dream, he began actively shooting images for the book in the year 2000.
You see, from design-conception to the final look, the Islands Book is all our own. No corporate entities or big-dollar contributors shaped this book – it was just us two nature-lovin’, rock-climbin’ photographer guys who aimed to put together something memorable enough to peruse twice, and share with others.
See you on Thursday at 7:30!
