**The Los Padres from Above, an Aerial Perspective with Bill Dewey**

Thursday, November 20, 6:30pm
Faulkner Gallery – Santa Barbara Public Library
40 East Anapamu St., Santa Barbara, CA

Join local photographer Bill Dewey as shares images from his archives that cover 30 years of flying over the Los Padres and will include images of the area from the Santa Ynez Mountains to the Cuyama Valley. The images will illustrate the many different looks that the seasons and weather conditions present. The images will give the viewer a new perspective and overview of the wonderful wild country that we are so lucky to have in our backyard. The show will also include several comparison views of the areas affected by the fires of the last several decades.

Bill's life passion is photographing the California landscape from the ground and the air. Ready to take off at a moment’s notice if the day’s light and skies intrigue him, Bill’s aerial photography is done from his Cessna 172, which he keeps at the Santa Barbara airport. Otherwise, he is in his four-wheel drive Subaru getting off the beaten track!

Bill also specializes in architectural, commercial illustration, and fine art photography. His work can be found in the collections of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Museum of Ventura County, Carnegie Museum of Oxnard, Santa Cruz Island Foundation, University of California Santa Barbara, Lompoc Valley Hospital, Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo, and numerous private collections. A member of the prestigious Santa Barbara OAK Group, he has been directly influenced by the art and character of the noted California painter Ray Strong.

*This free presentation is part of the Trail Talks series hosted by the Santa Barbara Public Library.*
