Seems that several of my prints are always the topic of donation items for a number of non-profit organizations around the Puget Sound area.  While I would love to support everyone that asks, I generally limit myself to one or two major print donations per year.  This year one of my signature prints, The Lady Washington Crossing Commencement Bay, was the surprise auction item for the 2010 Citizens for a Healthy Bay (CHB) annual auction.  This event, attended by people from all walks of life, included numerous local political leaders as well as Congressman Norm Dicks.  In addition to raising a ton of money for the education and pollution abatement efforts of CHB, a grand time was had by all.  My donation for this auction was one of my largest prints that I have done to date, measuring some 48×38 inches.  Printed on an Epson wide-carriage professional printer and mounted with acid free mats and  museum grade glass, she was all I could carry by myself.  Given the general state of the economy, I was very pleased with the final bid price that she delivered; no doubt she will grace a wall with pride.

I will be leading two safaris into Tanzania during 2011.  These will offer two distinct seasons of Africa and both will feature opportunities for viewing and photographing one of the great wonders of the world, the great wildebeest migration (as long as Mother Nature cooperates).  We will also pursue photography of Cheetahs, Lions, and Leopards as well as huge elephants herds and the incredibility wildlife rich and scenic Serengeti Plains.   February 2011 will  offer that magic splash of green that comes after the fall rains, while August brings the classic African tans and browns in the landscape.  As with all of my Tanzanian safaris, I will be using Thomson Safaris for my logistical and travel support. I have used Thomson’s since my very first adventure into Tanzania and the are simply the best of the best.   The proof of this is in the numerous awards that they receive and their ever-constant commitment ecotourism as well as their commitment to the indigenous people of Tanzania.  Their most recent awards include the National Geographic Best Adventure Outfitters on Earth for 2008 and 2009 and the Conde Nast World Savers Award for 2008.
