January Meeting – Photographer Mark Lance

Photographer Mark Lance – The Many Landscapes of Trout

Tuesday, January 17th at 7pm at the South Metro Denver Realtors Association building.

This program captures a photographers view of the most spectacular landscapes in the world of fly fishing.  Mark’s compelling images takes the audience on a fly fishing journey from the heights of the Patagonian Andes, to the Rocky Mountain West’s most hallowed trout fisheries, to forbidden rivers on the Kamchatka peninsula. “Rivers are a key force in shaping the landscape, “ says photographer Mark Lance. “The landscape is inseparably entwined with the character of the river, the surrounding flora and fauna, and often the people and culture of a place.”
