On Tuesday, May 10th, the Cape Cod Viewfinders Camera Club is hosting a special presentation by Onne van der Wal entitled South Georgia Island. The event will be begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Brewster Ladies Library, 1822 Main Street (Rte. 6A), in the center of Brewster, MA. For those of you who may not be acquainted with South Georgia, it is an island in the Southern Ocean teaming with wildlife including sea and land birds, seals, and reindeer. In past times it was used as a base for an extensive whaling industry and remnants of that activity survive today in a number of ghost towns including the largest, Grytviken, where a museum and restored church can be found. For more information on South Georgia see http://www.sgisland.gs/index.php/Main_Page.
Onne is a member of Canon's Explorers of Light. Today, the group is comprised of 62 of the most influential photographers and cinematographers in the world, each a master of his/her own creative specialty. Although Onne specializes in yachting photography, he also covers private expedition documentation, travel photography, interiors, aerials, location and scenic photography, lighthouses, harbors, and all things nautical.
