James Hager is a freelance nature photographer who lives full-time in an
RV so that his office can be near great shooting locations throughout
western North America. His work has appeared in Nature’s Best
Photography Magazine and has been displayed in the Smithsonian. He leads photo safaris to Africa and recently returned from leading a two-week
safari to Tanzania followed by a month and a half on his own in South
Africa.

In his program, Autumn From Alaska To Zion, James will show us that
there is more to nature photography in the fall than the Maroon Bells
and yellow aspen in late September. Using landscape and wildlife images,
he will take us from Alaska in late August to Zion in early November and
provide information on where and when to capture great fall color. www.JamesHagerPhoto.com
