Acclaimed Photographer to Discuss New Book

FALMOUTH, November 8, 2005

At 7 p.m. on Monday, November 28 at Gilsland Farm Audubon Center in Falmouth, Maine Audubon will host acclaimed photographer Bill Curtsinger as he presents a free program on his new book, “Extreme Nature.”

Curtsinger will share many of the 300 images from “Extreme Nature,” including underwater photographs of emperor penguins, sea turtles, sharks and seals.

Curtsinger has always been drawn to remote regions, severe landscapes, and shy and elusive animals. In addition to photographs, his new book includes musings about nature, why he’s drawn to “hidden nature,” and why he finds places like the Gulf of Maine more interesting than any coral reef.

For more information about this or other Maine Audubon programs, call (207) 781-2330.
