Brooklyn Vulture Painting Exhibition

Exposition de peintures de vautours à Brooklyn

Following the success of our exhibition of paintings on vultures in our Cotignac workshop, and the interest of our visitors in this little-known bird, Colleen Moritz will exhibit on this same theme in Brooklyn, NYC (December 15, 2023)

A recent publication in the New York Times on the importance of the conservation of the vulture in the world, allows him to support, through his passion and his talent, his admiration for this animal by exhibiting his works.

If you like art, head to the Red Hook neighborhood in Brooklyn This district is a former industrial port and it attracts more and more young artists. It’s an ideal place for gallery, contemporary art and photography enthusiasts.

Do not hesitate to visit her if you are passing through New York, she will convince you of the beauty of this unloved place.

If you don’t have the chance to see the exhibition of vulture paintings in Brooklyn, you can also find a virtual gallery of his works on our Paco Como website.

and improved in 2022

a new idea germinated during the long hours waiting for the animals:

The Wild Rover

The adventure started with my childhood friend, Alain, a passionate geek who immediately joined the project.

Build a machine capable of getting as close as possible to the animals, in order to capture images at the 10 mm super wide angle.

Everything will be remotely controlled with a video reception box and remote triggering of the camera.

The first field tests will take place at the beginning of 2023 and the big trip to Africa at the end of the year.

We will keep you informed of the progress of the results on our news blog.

Memories of our trip to Kgalagadi

In 2019, we were finally able to carry out our adventure in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, on the South African side. This international park, which includes Namibia, Botswana and South Africa is located in the far north west of South Africa over 1200 kilometers from our regular home base in Kruger National Park. We had been dreaming of this trip for a few years, and we were able to put it in place thanks to the camping trailer borrowed from a friend who can travel on off-road tracks. Distant of more than 250 kilometers from the first city, a very particular organization was necessary for this stay of 2 months and a half, in order to explore in depth all the different biotopes and hope to discover all the fauna of this arid land partly desert. .

Eight thousand photographic shots later, you will soon be able to discover the best of them on our website.
