Taken in Santa Barbara CIRCE BONAPARTE GULL IN WINTER DRESS Photo by the Author "NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY" is really a phase of the collector's mania. The devotee of the camera becomes so thoroughly obsessed with the idea of "taking" everything he sees, that he cannot sit still and enjoy the largess of nature. In the early days of the autochrome we even felt uneasy in the presence of a sunset, and while others were drinking in the glories of a crimson West, we grumbled at the absence of our favorite "; It is not alone a temporary enjoyment that one misses either,— a surrender to beauty's self, untainted by professional appraisal. The intent photographer, following the movements of his subject, jockeying for position, computing exposure schedules, fearing momentary flight, has not time for accurate observation nor for notebook work. Science and Art conflict here, and though each may serve the other through the finished product, the photograph, the pursuit of bird portraits in itself is a thoroughly engrossing and non-scientific pursuit. Tt is for this reason that the author offers herewith a gallery of H23.
