What better way to welcome spring than with a wonderful wetlands wildflower show! Long-time Chapter member and photographer extraordinaire Greg Lockett will share some wetlands images in his presentation entitled, Hog Lake and Environs.
For this show, Greg took his best images from 20 years of photographing Hog Lake and the surrounding area, and wove them into a story about a special botanical location. A background in botany is not required to enjoy this show. It is aimed at the non-expert who enjoys good photography wrapped in a good story.
Greg has a BA in philosophy with an art minor from USC, and a BS in chemistry from UC Berkeley. In Greg’s own words, “I’ve always straddled the divide between art and science. I have been taking photographs for about 60 years. I taught photography to high school students for the last 15 years of my teaching career. I started in a traditional darkroom at West Valley High School, and then transitioned to a computer lab with digital cameras at Anderson New Technology High School. Since I retired in 2010, I’ve been more exclusively focused on photography.”
