More Ami Vitale News

The BBC website is one of my favorite news and culture sources. Today I noticed "A Life Devoted to Photography" with a person in panda costume holding a baby panda. My first thought was Ami! You may know that she has spent a lot of time with pandas in China over the past few years, and a selection of her panda photographs were published in National Geographic a few months ago. Once I clicked on the link: http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-43329546 my hopes were confirmed with the story about her. There are many images from around the world which Phil Cooms, BBC Picture Editor calls "...exquisitely beautiful...."If you don't already agree, I think you will once you've read the article or check out her web site at amivitale.com. Through This Lens has quite a good selection of signed prints of Ami's work. Please ask to see them on your next visit.
