Meetings of ACS Monterey Bay

The Monterey Bay Chapter of the American Cetacean Society normally meets at 7:30 pm on the last Thursday of the month at Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, California (across from the American Tin Cannery Outlet Stores). Meeting date is changed when the last Thursday conflicts with a holiday. These meetings are free and open to the public. ACS meetings and activities feature cetacea and various aspects of the marine environment.

The August 2010 meeting occurs during the Blue Ocean Film Festival Week, being held in Monterey for the first time. While we are not an "official venue" for the festival our goal was to participate in the spirit of the event. In that regard we are very pleased and excited to have Chuck Davis as our speaker for the August Chapter meeting.

Chuck is a specialist in marine and underwater photography and cinematography. He has traveled the globe, with a camera at the ready, filming and taking still shots of many of nature's wonders from the freezing climate of Antarctica to the hot and humid Amazon and many places in between. As a "local", Chuck has captured many images from Monterey Bay and other local locations such as Point Lobos State Reserve.

Chuck's cinematography experience includes many worldwide expeditions with the Cousteau filming teams working with the late Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his son Jean-Michel during production of the Rediscovery of the World TV series. He was Director of Photography for the television program and later released PBS Home Video Jean-Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures: The Gray Whale Obstacle Course, among others. He has numerous IMAX and feature film credits as well.

Chuck's still images have appeared nationally and internationally in many magazines including National Geographic and Audubon. His fine art black and white and color work has been represented in special exhibitions by the Ansel Adams Gallery, the Christopher Bell Collection Gallery and the OCEANS Gallery, to name a few.

Please join us for a very special program where art and science will come together in a unique, informative and entertaining way.
