Birds of the Dominican Republic

  • Maricopa Audubon Society P.O. Box 65401 Phoenix, AZ 85082 USA (map)

with David and Diane Reesor

David sparked an interest in photography ever since he received his Brownie Hawkeye camera on his tenth birthday. His parents encouraged his interest and obligingly allowed his darkroom setup in the basement of their home. In 1992, David won the “Best Canadian Amateur” photo of the year in the Canadian international underwater photo contest. In 2007 David co-authored a book “Predator – Life and Death in the African Bush” with African safari guide Mark Ross. David has immense patience to remain "in place" for long periods of time to photograph birds and animals, and capture the most breath-taking shots. Having lived in remote villages in Dominica, WI, and Nunavut, Canada, Diane really appreciates the local people. The things she enjoys most about them is how they live their everyday lives, their most promising traditions, festivals, and ceremonies. Some of Diane's most challenging journeys are the ones she cherishes most. Her favorite treks include Nepal, the Inca Trail, The Compostela Route and Copper Canyon. When it comes to her love for photography, Diane has David to thank. After meeting David, traveling and photography have now become an integral part of their life together.
