Flagstaff-based geologist, doctor, and professional photographer Michael Collier will exhibit Stones from the Sky at the Houston Museum of Natural Science starting September 13, 2008, according to an announcement from AGI.
Michael specializes in aerial landscape photography, taking dramatic shots of areas such as the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Canadian Rockies, and Alaskan Glaciers. His current exhibit consists of 45 prints that highlight the American geologic landscape. He currently spends about half his time in the field, or the air, taking photos. The other half is spent as a family doctor in Arizona.
The photography exhibit was co-sponsored by AGI and AAAS last summer while it was on display in Washington D.C. The exhibit will be on display in Houston until March 1, 2009 when it will then move to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. It will be on display in Denver from March 15, 2009 until August 1, 2009. [above, sunrise over Meteor Crater. Copyright, Michael Collier]
