"Celebrating Nature" honors
the contribution of Marin County, California photographer Ernie Braun
in nature photography by exhibiting the work of his students.
Ernie has developed
a unique impressionistic approach to photography clearly evident in
his students' work as well as in his own. Over three hundred and fifty
students have studied with Ernie in workshops over the last decade,
joining him in looking closely at nature. Whether capturing the intimate
detail of a flower petal or photographing the grandeur of an entire
landscape, each of Ernie's students has interpreted his lessons in a
personal way. The gallery includes five examples of Ernie's photography
and nearly fifty of his students' work accompanied by comments about
Ernie's influence.
