Falkland Islands
Presented by: Michele McCormick
Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 7:00PM

In November of 2023 Michele spent two weeks in the Falkland Islands. She was attracted by the opportunity to see and photograph several species of Penguin, Black-browed Albatross, and numerous other birds found there. In her photography-based talk she'll share the images she made, and the story of what it was like to visit this remote country.

More About the Speaker

Sacramento resident Michele McCormick is a widely exhibited photographer. Upon retiring after a successful career in Public Relations, she turned her energies back to her first love: photography. 

She entered the fine arts arena in 2012. Her images have been frequently published, exhibited and honored. In addition to participation in juried shows, she has held solo exhibits at Viewpoint Photographic Gallery, Niello Acura, and various commercial venues.

In the COVID era, her work took on a new focus. Deprived of her usual photographic themes and subjects, she expanded her long-standing interest in bird photography and, recognizing that Sacramento has a rich avian population throughout the year, she began to focus on bird photography – and became immersed in a new passion.

In addition to offering her work for competition and gallery exhibition, Michele issues a Daily Avian Image e-mail and accompanying short writeup about the image, which enjoys an enthusiastic following. To be added to her list simply send your request to her at: michele@mgroup1.com.
