KEYNOTE P R E S E N TAT I O N Friday 6:30-8:00 PM | $15 Whitney Laboratory Nature Inspired by R o ma n K u r y wc z a k sponsored by Come join me, Sigma Pro Roman Kurywczak, for my program “Nature Inspired”. I will take you on a visual journey over thirty years in the making. This is the story of how an inner-city kid takes a very unusual path to become a world-class nature photographer. Every summer when I was growing up, I was fortunate enough to escape the city life and spend time in the Catskills of Upstate, NY. I fell in love with nature. I started taking nature photos about 33 years ago when my then girlfriend, now wife, bought me my first camera. That changed the direction of my life forever. From that moment of getting my first camera, to now, my passion for photog- raphy has remained steadfast and has evolved into a passion for sharing and teaching others. My hope is that by sharing my vision of our natural world, you will be inspired you as you look through your own lens. PHOTOS: ROMAN KURYWCZAK 7
