Birds of the Chesapeake Region (with a side trip to the Amazon) - Photography of Bill Reichhardt

Exhibit - Friday, December 1 to Saturday, December 30, 2023
9:00am to 4:30pm (Tuesdays to Saturdays)

Bill’s gallery exhibit will run from December 1^st thru 30^th and display his unique and compelling images, "Birds of the Chesapeake Region,” along with selected wildlife images from a recent trip to the Ecuadorian Amazon – with the final lap of that journey, by canoe! His images have appeared in Chesapeake Bay Magazine and Spinsheet magazine, as well as in Bay-area calendars. He has exhibited work at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts as well as in the Hollingsworth Gallery. Bill writes that photography is the “art of seeing beyond the obvious.” He beautifully applies that philosophy to image-making both “here at home” in favorite locales, from the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center preserve in Graysonville to Blackwater and Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuges, and in places around the world.
