Item Description
"Great Blue Heron Feeding Young" framed and matted photograph donated by Matthew Lerman. Overall size 17" x 21".
Matthew, born with a camera in hand, was encouraged by Mom & Dad to take family photos using a box-shaped Kodak point and shoot camera equipped with large and cumbersome magnesium wire-filled flash bulbs. Early on Matthew realized that beyond those family snap shots existed an awesome and breathtaking natural world filled with wonders infinitely more powerful than family portraits. This realization helped the young photographer focus his vision onto the natural world and before too long, voilà; a photographer-naturalist-biology professor was created.
Matthew, who spent forty years teaching biology in the NYC area, has dedicated his life to exploring nature and helping others see the beauty and splendor surrounding us. His textbook, Marine Biology: Environment, Diversity, and Ecology (1986), featuring many of his own photographs, was used in colleges and secondary schools throughout the world for over twenty years. In addition he has been a college professor of biology, marine ecology, oceanography, marine mammalogy, and anatomy-physiology at Kingsborough and CW Post Colleges in New York. For years he has shared his photographs with his students, now he wishes to share them with you and to support Casting for Recovery's important mission.
