Club member Tom Jenks has brought a taste of African wildlife to the Full Spectrum Gallery in the back of Foto Art. On display until the end of June, you’ll find a terrific array of images from Tom’s recent trip to Okavango Delta region of Botswana last December. You’ll find African Hunting Dogs hunting with willful intensity, a Yellow-billed Oxpecker playfully pecking, Elephants gorgeously lit in all their elephantine glory, and many more. From planning the trip, to taking the photos, to processing the photos for print, to framing the photos, to the wall, it’s a long journey of which the end results are something any photographer would be proud.
Botswana wasn’t Tom’s first African photo tour and happily a handful of images from his 2011 Tanzania trip snuck into the mix (including one of my favorites- a pack of well-arranged thirsty Zebras). You can also find some of his work on his gallery page, including a few from Africa and a few from Camera Club ‘theme nights’. Be sure to take the trip to check out the gallery display the next time you’re near Foto Art and escape from our May snowfall into the piece of Africa Tom brought back!
Tom will also be presenting a slideshow of images from his trip at the Camera Club meeting this Tuesday, May 14th, 7pm at Foto Art and is willing to do presentations to interested groups.
