Last night, Howard Schatz (http://www.howardschatz.com) gave a presentation to an enthusiastic audience of photographers, art directors and graphic designers at an event sponsored by the Art Director's Club of Denver, and the Colorado Chapter of ASMP. His work has been the subject of books, gallery and museum shows, and has received numerous awards in major industry shows.
Howard used the analogy of climbing a tree for the way in which his career has blossomed. He talked about stepping onto branches that might be rotten, leading to a soft landing on the ground below, and the resulting return to the tree bringing him to higher vantage points. It was an analogy well illustrated with his early work of underwater work with dancers and street photographs of homeless people, right up to his current work with athletes and actors. And a return to working with dancers underwater once again. and creating fonts using the technique of painting with light.
His warm voice, easy manner, sense of humor, and respect for the creative process all bolstered the impression that this is a man who loves what he does, and lives his dream. It was a delightful, inspiring evening.

The theme of picture is raly marvelous. The clarity and angle is very proffessional. I suggest the photographer to develop his skill for nature picture.
