Birds as Art: Photography of Arthur Morris

I noticed you are promoting an Arthur Morris & Denise Ippolito workshop in Salibury, CT on Sept 28.

Arthur Morris is opening an exhibition at The Museum of American Bird Art that should be particularly interesting to your group.

Birds as Art: The Photography of Arthur Morris will open in Canton on September 29, 2013.

Here’s some information on Arthur which you may already be familiar with.

Arthur Morris is a free-lance nature photographer and writer specializing in birds. He is widely recognized as the world’s premier bird photographer and as one of the top nature photography educators of his time. In his books and on his web site and blog his record of sharing his photographic and avian knowledge is un-matched. Arthur Morris has been a contract photographer with Canon’s “Explorers of Light” since 1995. More than 20,000 of Artie’s images have been published in American Birds, Audubon, Birding, Birder’s World, Bird Watcher’s Digest, Duck’s Unlimted, Florida Wildlife and Nature, Living Bird, National Geographic, Natural History, Nature Photographer, Outdoor Photographer, PHOTOgraphic, Ranger Rick, Wildbird, and in counteless other magazines, as well as in hundreds of books and calendars. More than 150 photo-illustrated feature articles by and about him have appeared in a wide variety of publications worldwide.

He will be in Canton teaching a workshop on September 30^th and then hosting a free lecture at Canton High School on Oct 1^st.

I’m looking for the best way to spread the word. Maybe you could post this to your site? It really is quite exciting to have him in Canton MA for an exhibition and workshops.
