Bruce Dale - Keynote Speaker
Bruce Dale has produced over two thousand published photographs in National Geographic during his travels in over 75 countries. Recognitions include twice named Magazine Photographer of the Year, 1989 White House Photographer of the Year, and honors for his digital work from the Smithsonian Institution.  In addition to many other awards, one of his photographs now journeys beyond the solar system on board NASA's Voyager Spacecraft as testimony about planet Earth. His versatility ranges from anthropological studies of Gypsies and American Mountain People, to highly technical work such as mounting remote cameras on the vertical stabilizer of a jumbo jet to make in-flight photos. A half dozen stories on China, Bats, Roadrunners, a book on the American Southwest, and a splendid collection of landscape images contribute to his portfolio. In 2007, National Geographic published a collection of his infrared photography at Arlington National cemetery and panoramas from recent work in India.
