I’ll try to make a long story short. In May of last year, we visited the Trona Pinnacles near Ridgecrest, California with the goal of getting some good photos. The Trona Pinnacles is designated a National Natural Landmark, which is a program administered by the National Park Service.
I had a number of images I was happy with, so I sent some samples to the National Park Service with a note they were free to use them. Well, about a month later I got a phone call from the NPS to ask if they could get a high resolution copy of one of the photos to use on a poster they were preparing to celebrate 50 years of the National Natural Landmark Program. I was honored to be considered and was happy to help out. Fast forward a year and the NNL 50th Anniversary poster has made its debut.
Do you want a copy of the poster? I’m having a show of my work this Friday, June 22 in Delavan at “An Evening of Art, Wine and Spirits” cosponsored by the Morgan Elser Gallery and Hometown Wine and Spirits. The National Park Service was kind enough to supply 200 posters to be given away at the event (while supplies last). Of course, I’ll also have an original print of the Trona Pinnacles photo on display as well.
