Dave Otto has lived near Bolin Creek in Chapel Hill and Carrboro for 35 years. He retired last March after a career in environmental health research, in part, to pursue his passion for nature photography. For the past five years he has been working with the Friends of Bolin Creek, a grassroots citizen's group devoted to preserving the Bolin Creek corridor and adjacent woodlands. He uses digital photography as a tool to communicate the beauty and importance-ecological, recreational and historical-of this place in efforts to educate the public and convince local governments to preserve this natural treasure.

"North American Landscapes in Pastel "

Dan Vaughan has always had a love and appreciation for art. His retirement in 2003 from the University of North Carolina allowed him the opportunity to devote time to painting for the first time. In 2006 he was an artist-in-residence for 11 weeks in the Badland's National Park in South Dakota. Removed from his usual routine, he had time to get totally immersed in his new found passion. In his pastel landscapes he paints a wide variety of beautiful vistas in North America, sometimes incorporating wildlife in their natural habitat. The coast of the Carolinas and Big Sur, as well as the mountainous terrains of Utah, Colorado, Alberta, and British Columbia have all provided inspiration. He has enjoyed plein air painting local scenes in Orange, Chatham, Durham, and Alamance counties as well.
