Journal
of Light: A Photographer's Search for the Soul of Florida
Following the publication in 2004 of Journal of Light, my
20-year retrospective book of Florida pictures and essays,
the Journal of Light exhibit opened in 2005 as a collaborative
project with the Florida
Museum of Natural History on the campus of the
University of Florida. The exhibit features more than 50 of
my best photos, including several new photos since publication
of the book, framed in sizes up to 40x60". The exhibit
includes many of my most popular photographs of the alligators,
beaches, birds, rivers, springs, palms, turtles, and flowers
that make Florida the amazing place we call home.
If you'd like to book this exhibit at your museum, please
contact Tom Kyne at the Florida Museum of Natural History
by email at kyne@flmnh.ufl.edu.

Florida's Grand Old River: A
Photographic Essay on the Suwannee
A multi-panel picture exhibit takes viewers all the
way down Florida's most famous river, from the swamp to the
sea. Funded by the Florida Humanities Council and sponsored
by the Museum of Florida History, the Suwannee exhibit has
toured the state since its inception in 1992. Learn more at
http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/museum/programs/trex/suwannee.cfm
Contact the Museum of Florida History by email at TREX@dos.state.fl.us for information about scheduled exhibit venues.
Art Festivals and Gallery Shows
I have no art festivals currently scheduled. For the first time in ten years, I have decided not to enter the Spring Arts Festival in Gainesville in 2008, in order to concentrate on photo projects this spring. I do plan to show my work at the Downtown Festival and Art Show in November. My framed photographs will continue to be available for purchase either directly from me by way of email or phone orders, or from Harold's Frames and Gallery in downtown Gainesville. Check with Harold's for store hours and location.
Public Speaking Programs
I often take my Journal of Light speaking programs on the road.
My programs offer a memorable look at a Florida seldom seen, and interweave adventure narrative, natural history, music and excellent photography. Many of my public speaking engagements are sponsored by the Florida
Humanities Council as part of their Road Scholars program. I also present my programs as a keynote speaker for the Florida convention industry. Learn more at the keynote speaking page of my website. Please contact me directly if you would like to arrange for me to speak to your civic, professional, environmental or academic meeting.
