Bruce Dale Keynote Address

Bruce A Dale (BAD) will show highlights of his career in photography and share some of the lessons he has learned. With over 2,000 photos published in National Geographic Magazine, his work ranges from a 6 month trip with Gypsies overland between England and India to high-tech holographic images.  He’ll include a selection of work during the past year in Tasmania and a provocative selection of images taken in the last few months with a shirt pocket camera in New Orleans, The American Southwest and Europe.

Bruce Dale has produced over two thousand published photographs in National Geographic during his travels in over 75 countries. Recognitions include twice named Magazine Photographer of the Year, 1989 White House Photographer of the Year, and honors for his digital work from the Smithsonian Institution.  In addition to many other awards, one of his photographs now journeys beyond the solar system on board NASA's Voyager Spacecraft as testimony about planet Earth. His versatility ranges from anthropological studies of Gypsies and American Mountain People, to highly technical work such as mounting remote cameras on the vertical stabilizer of a jumbo jet to make in-flight photos. A half dozen stories in China, Bats, Roadrunners, a book on the American Southwest, and a splendid collection of landscape images contribute to his portfolio. In 2007, National Geographic published a collection of his infrared photography at Arlington National cemetery and panoramas from recent work in India.

Bruce’s lecture will include highlights from his career at National Geographic with stories behind the photographs. How do you capture on camera what you see with your eyes? He’ll try and show you. He’ll explain where ideas come from and how to prepare yourself for those serendipitous moments that make the best pictures.
