- From Claudia Hehr, Photographer

THE 7 1/2 MINUTE PORTRAIT

The one thing that is certain about being a photographer - there is no certainty!

When I got the call from Manager Magazin in Germany to portray Tobias Meyer, the Austrian-born star auctioneer of Sotheby's New York - I was excited. I was even more excited when I started talking to his very accommodating PR person. If you've dealt with PR before, unfortunately their job a lot of times is to make our job harder. Not in this case. We got permission to arrive at Sotheby's 1 hour before the scheduled interview which gave us plenty of time to set up multiple shots in the Sotheby's gallery where they showcase soon-to-be-auctioned artwork.

And then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. When Mr. Meyer finally arrived (about an hour late), he was very apologetic and couldn't be nicer. So I snapped away at our first setup and happily chatted with him until he asked if there were any other shots. I told him that we had planned for 3 variations in the gallery plus one shot on the terrace. That's when he glanced at his very fancy (and most likely Swiss) watch and said: "I have to leave in 5."

So there are times when you know you only get 7 1/2 minutes with a subject, and times when you think you have a ton of time, but you end up with 7 1/2 minutes anyways. The bottom line is, you still have to get a great picture. No matter what. It helps when the person on the other side of the camera is genuinely nice. But that's just me, I have a weakness for nice people. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Mr. Meyer for 7 1/2 minutes, and he even let me call him Tobias and channelled Zoolander for me.
But that's a different story.

- Sandra Noll, Naturalist and Photographer, sent us these stunning photos of Pinnacles National Park. She and Erv Nichols have had the unique honor of guiding hikes and working the visitor center at the recently opened Pinnacles National Park-

"Greetings from the newest National Park in the nation - Pinnacles National Park - made so earlier this year by and act of Congress.  Pinnacles had been a National Monument since Teddy Roosevelt designated it in 1908.  (Presidents can designate National Monuments but they must be championed in Congress to become National Parks of which there are less than 70.) Working on my "history" ranger-bite.

Pinnacles won its status primarily because of its geology - formed millions of years ago as a subducting tectonic plate opened a space for magma to move up creating an active volcanic field that, per the action of two parallel moving plates, became separated by almost 200 miles. (Working on my geology ranger talk....so far to go!)  At any rate, as I understand it, Pinnacles is considered proof of tectonic plate theory! Then over many, many more years of erosion, the stunning peaks and rock formations we see today were developed.  Oh, last geo-bit....Pinnacles is also home to rather unique talus caves.  Whereas most caves are formed by water seepage (think Carlsbad or Louray Caverns) and still others are lava tubes, Pinnacles' caves were formed by boulders falling into and completely blocking narrow gulches.

So my first post features geology - the peaks themselves, a fabulous hike up toward the peaks, rock formations and Erv headed into one of the talus caves.  And just because one can't live by rocks alone - a photo of my favorite spring flowers, Shooting Stars!"
Sandra
