IMAGES OF ECUADOR – 2011
John Thornton, OSU Professor Emeritus
Thursday, March 1, Room 002 Ag Hall, 7 PM
After teaching 35 years in OSU’s Zoology Department, John Thornton retired and
began to spend more time with nature photography. He became acquainted with
Tom Ulrich, the well-known, professional nature photographer who gives an annual
wildlife photography presentation at OSU.
With Tom’s encouragement, Thornton attended a workshop on nature photography
sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Outdoor Writers and Photographers Association,
at which Ulrich served as one of the primary instructors.
Over the years since then, Thornton has maintained contact with Tom, so was
delighted to be invited—along with nine other amateur photographers—to join Ulrich
on a two-week trip to the mountains of Ecuador to photograph hummingbirds.
The photographers spent about two weeks in that tropical paradise, visiting five
different ecotourism lodges at different altitudes on either side of the Andes. From
the thousands of images Thornton took on that trip, he has chosen about 200 for
our March program: "Images of Ecuador – 2011."
We welcome the community.
All Payne County Audubon programs are free of charge and open to the public.
