Description

I came upon this interestingly colored Summer Tanager (Piranga rubra) today at a local wildlife management area, and have confirmed that he is a young second-year male with my expert birder friends. He is beginning to take on the bright red adult plumage, but is quite a spectacular sight as he is.

Gary Holmes, photographer: I have always loved to photograph nature, landscapes, abstract, and other found objects of interest. Although I have staged single and group portraits and still life photographs, I prefer the challenge of trying to capture the unpredictable spontaneity of things and events as they are occurring. I started with a Kodak Brownie as a child, but entered the world of real photography with a Canon AE-1 in the late 1970's. I have successfully sold a number of my photographs on Fine Art America, and have won several awards, including an Editors' Choice on 500px, as well as a 5-star Editor's Choice designation in Camerapixo's Hot Shots photo magazine, Volume 4. (http://issuu.com/camerapixo/docs/hotshots-camerapixo-04/1). My photo, "Blue Norther," was selected by the nonprofit Texas Bluebird Society for its 2010 membership announcements.
