At the November meeting we had a wonderful speaker. You may have seen his books on dive boats, or seen his photos on the various Channel Island websites, so I’m very excited to have this professional photographer visit the club. Tim Hauf is a nature/travel photographer who has traveled to many remote corners of the planet with a desire to create a better understanding and appreciation of the world around us through photography. His list of published books include unique destinations such as the Himalaya of Nepal; South America’s remote Patagonia region at the southern tip of the continent; the rugged wilderness of northern Manitoba, Canada; and South Africa’s remarkable World Heritage Sites. His photographs have appeared in numerous publications throughout the world, including Islands, Sunset, Asia Pacific Travel, Explore, Terre Sauvage, South Africa Times, and others. Tim’s most recent book “ Channel Islands National Park and National Marine Sanctuary ” is his second on the Channel Islands. The islands have a special appeal to Tim, so close to the California mainland, yet a world apart with each island as well as the surrounding ocean environment having its own uniqueness. He presented a side of the Channel islands few have seen, the topside. Tim Hauf Photography
