     Program:   Wildlife Photographer Carol DiQuilio

Speaker: Carol DiQuilio

Wildlife Whisperer Carol DiQuilio, who was scheduled to present in 2020, will share an array of her intimate images of wildlife. Carol’s wildlife photography has an intimacy as if she has a personal relationship with each of the subjects she shoots.

Whether a it’s a cedar waxwing balancing a berry in its beak, squirrels embracing, a fox stopping for a pose that speaks of mutual acknowledgment and understanding, or Great Horned owlets peeking out of their bucket nest for a big howdy to the world, Carol has a special relationship with wildlife that is revealed in her large portfolio of images and stories.

At the February PODS meeting Carol will share her stories and techniques for capturing wildlife. She will also talk about how she has created a market for her images and how the process is unfolding, challenges and rewards to staying the course.
