David Cavagnaro
A decade of international
travel as a scientific field worker, educational tourism leader, and
photography instructor greatly expanded my knowledge of natural history
opportunities to photograph. Beginning with the Galapagos International
Scientific Project in 1964, I made several trips to the Enchanted Isles and
also led photographic excursions to the off shore islands and gray whale
breeding lagoons of Baja California. Photo assignments and seminar teaching
led me to some of the most beautiful wilderness regions of the United States.
During those years, my work became widely published in nature calendars and
magazines, including Audubon, National and International Wildlife, Natural
History, Ranger Rick, and Life., culminating in the publication of five of my
own books. |

By 1970, I had begun to return to
another childhood passion: gardening. Over fifteen years of intensive flower,
fruit, and vegetable gardening in Central California resulted in the
beginnings of a new "career" in horticultural photography. Eight
subsequent years managing the genetic preservation gardens for the Seed
Savers Exchange in Iowa helped build a definitive file of heirloom flower and
vegetable photos and expanded my nature file broadly with midwestern
subjects. Three acres of personal flower and vegetable gardens now afford a
living palette of opportunities for highly personalized garden design and
horticultural photography.
