As this issue of the Cable Release is being prepared, our speaker, Cameron Davidson, is on assignment in Brazil. He suggested that the bio on his web site (www.camerondavidson.com) would be the best way to introduce him to SSCC, so we have reproduced it in this column. Cameron will speak principally about his adventurous life as an aerial photographer. Meanwhile, you may want to examine one of his books: Chesapeake, available through Amazon and featured on his own site. He describes it as a “two-decade labor-of-love shooting aerial photographs of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed from the headwaters in Cooperstown, New York to the mouth of the Chesapeake at Virginia Beach.”
