Nature and Landscape Photography

About your Instructor

Using his photographs to help make a difference is one of Larry’s passions. As a leader in environmental organizations, Larry has effectively used his photography in support of many major environmental issues, especially on the protection of native biodiversity and its habitats in Georgia’s National Forests, Stone Mountain, and other endangered places in the U.S. and Canada. Larry has served as Conservation Chairman of the Georgia Sierra Club twice and is currently its Wildlands and Wildlife Committee Chairman. Larry’s most recent conservation work has been with Georgia Forestwatch updating the book Georgia’s Mountain Treasures, a guide to the natural areas of the Chattahoochee/Oconee National Forest that need protection. The new book is to be released in late 2018.

Larry and his wife, Julie, co-authored the book Wildflowers of Stone Mountain Park. Working with the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, Larry also published Stone Mountain – a walk in the park, a book of nature scenes in the park. Both books are available at bookstores, Amazon, and this web site (see Store page). Larry’s work can also be seen in numerous other books, including The Reach of Song, the Georgia Poetry Society’s 2010 anthology, and Atlanta’s Stone Mountain, a Multicultural History. Larry and Julie are currently working on several new books.
