Featured Artist of the Month, Gary Blake

A trip to the wilds of Alaska in 1970 initiated a lifelong interest in photography and the natural beauty of the outdoors and wildlife whether it is in remote areas or in our own backyards, a camera was always taken on travels and photography soon became an avidly pursued pastime.
