Time: 9:30 AM
Presenter: Dan Sved
About Dan Sved:
I received my first camera as a gift when I was seven years old and I started processing black and white images that same year. While majoring in biology in college, I was the photography editor and one of the staff photographers for the Penn Press. I then worked for a year shooting portraits for a regional studio before starting my own business as a photographer. In addition to portraits, I also found myself working for an interior designer and doing some architectural photography for advertising. During this period, I also unfortunately injured my right eye, which made focusing a camera impossible. I went back to school, earned a doctorate in marine science, and had a successful career in scientific research. Now, thanks to the advent of autofocus cameras, I have returned my attention to photography. My love of nature drives most of my work, but I try to incorporate a variety of genres and styles. I have won numerous awards for both color and black & white photography at local, state, and national levels, including several best‑of‑show awards. My portrait photography has been published internationally and my nature and landscape photography has been featured in exhibits at the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge in West Virginia and the Ohio Bird Sanctuary. My latest work can be seen on my Facebook blog or my website, www.dansved.com.
My first photography business card had a picture of a brown bear taken at a zoo, so it was only fitting that I would eventually travel to Alaska to photograph bears in their natural habitat.
Program: My presentation for The Wilderness Center will feature photographs of brown bears that I took during recent adventures in one of America’s greatest wilderness locations, Katmai National Park, as well as a few other locations in the Last Frontier.
Shooting Topic: Summer Landscape from the last 30 days
Refreshments: Beth and Rich Patrick
Bulletin Board Reminder: Suzie and Dan Lux (August 24 - Nov. 16)
