TILTON — With their haunting cries and beautiful plumage, common loons are an iconic symbol of the northern wilderness. Join the Lakes Region Art Association for An Uncommon Look at the Common Loon, a slideshow exploring the natural history of loons in the north country. West Newbury, Vermont-based photographer Ian Clark spent nearly 2,000 hours kayaking with loons over the last decade and has taken over 250,000 photos of loons and their behaviors.
The presentation will take place at 7 p.m. in the Lakes Region Art Gallery in Tilton. Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
Clark spent many years operating commercial photo labs and tackling technical photographic problems, including a stint as the manager of the photographic section at NASA’s Langley Research Center. He has a baechlor of science from the Rochester Institute of Technology and did his master’s work a the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
He has been a news stringer off and on since 1975. He is a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, the New Hampshire Art Association, and the Vermont Hand Crafters. More information, LRAANH.org.
