See Change conference

In 2011, I was one of 10 speakers chosen to present at the annual See Change conference, held that spring at the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus. I spoke about my Wild Birds Flying project, along with an audio-visual presentation titled: “Tiny Aviators — Inspiration and Evolution of a Birdbrained Idea.”

The See Change conference — one way to bring visual people together — is intended for curious creatives to refresh their talents with innovative ideas and imagery. This exchange is important as visualists struggle to reinvent themselves in today’s changing times.  seechange.org

Minnesota Original

In January 2011, a story on the wild birds project was broadcast on Twin Cities Public Television’s weekly arts series, MN Original. The TV crew joined us at Carpenter Nature Center (carpenternaturecenter.org) for a bird banding event on a extremely windy day that past fall — not great conditions for netting birds, since they could more easily see the mist nets blowing in the wind. But we did get one bird —one that quickly outsmarted our camera/lighting setup after being banded. Ah … well at least the process was documented, and it was great fun to have MN Original on the shoot with us.

The show first aired Thursday, January 6, 2011, at 7:30 p.m.
