Travels of a Modern Plant Hunter (Lecture)
Monday, February 9, 2009
12pm to 1pm
Lecture Details “Although hunting in this case means shooting with a digital camera, for a plant enthusiast like me there remains something of the thrill of the chase. Traveling to new locales, tracking down never before seen species and bringing home trophy photos is for me downright exciting. This talk will describe my 2008 travels in California, Oregon, Ontario and Colorado and will hopefully convey the very real pleasure that wildflowers in their natural state can provide.”
Instructor Ron Long retired after 36 years as a photographer at SFU with 15 years spent exclusively in the Bio-Science Department. In retirement, he travels extensively in search of new wildflowers. Ron is an active member of the Native Plant Society of BC and the Vancouver Natural History Society. He lectures extensively about photography and wildflowers.
