Exhibition Visit 1-Ordover Gallery-Ralph Lee Hopkins

Date: Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Location: Ordover Gallery at the San Diego Natural History Museum, San Diego, CA
Photographer: Ralph Lee Hopkins
 My first museum visit was to the Ordover Gallery and I viewed the Photography at the Poles exhibit.  I was really drawn to the photographer, Ralph Lee Hopkins.  The first photo, "Flying Penguin"  shows Hopkins' ability to grasp the playful side of penguins.  In an isolated area, such as the poles, Hopkins gives life to it's inhabitants, thereby making the area seem full of life and action.  My favorite picture of his was "Walrus Kiss" and I couldn't find a picture that I was able to copy from the internet, so from the ordover gallery's website, I took a screen shot of the picture to show the amazing detail that Hopkins captured.  The Ordovery Gallery was a great place to showcase all of the Photography at the Poles.
