The Philippine Bird Photography Forum (PBPF) and the UP Jorge B. Vargas Museum (UPVM) are proud to present Bird Season, an exhibition of full color photographs of 100 bird species by PBPF members. The exhibit will open on 04 September 2008, Thursday, 6:00 PM at The Edge Gallery.
With this exhibit, the PBPF not only hopes to showcase the artistry of Filipinos in wildlife photography but also to call attention to the beauty and uniqueness of Philippine wildlife. Bird photography itself brings in a new paradigm to wildlife appreciation. They are best appreciated without putting them in cages or shooting for sport. With this exhibit and its other activities, PBPF together with the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines and the UNICEF, is promoting the shift from the petting to the "Just Watch, Do Not Touch" culture.
Bird Season will run until 05 October 2008, Sunday, 6:00 PM. The museum is open from Tuesdays to Sundays, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. For more details, please contact the UP Vargas Museum at 928-1927 (Direct line), 981-8500 local 4024 (UP Trunkline) or 928-1925 (Fax).
