The Exhibition Renowned aerial photographer Robert Cameron began photographing California from the air in 1969. Over those years, his view has reached as far north as Alaska, as far south as Mexico, as far west as Hawaii and as far east as France. This exhibition selects over 50 great images from Cameron's large body of work on California, Washington State, Nevada, Alaska and Hawaii.
El Nino surf, Ocean Beach, San Francisco CA Walking through nine galleries, the visitor will experience (1) an aerial journey, (2) the edge of the Pacific, (3) a little background on Robert Cameron, (4) bays, estuaries, rivers and lakes, (5) forests, (6) mountains and deserts, (7) energy sources, (8) farms and ranches, and (9) the monuments and cities of this dynamic part of the earth. Both the natural environment and the impact of humankind on the landscape unfold before you. The environment is a big subject, and Camero's images reflect this in large format prints, many as tall as six feet and ten feet wide. Moss Landing power station, Monterey County CA

The exhibition will be accompanied by free public Wednesday evening programs, the first of which will be an evening with Robert Cameron talking about his work. Subsequent discussions focus on the environmental and ecological challenges we face today, and feature experts and organizations grappling with these issues. Talks will explore the atmosphere, the oceans, our expanding cities and threatened architectural monuments, and the magnificent natural habitats that survive in public parks and private holdings.
