Capturing surprising events

Photograph­er is featured artist at Ferndale Arts Gallery

-

Photograph­er Dan Tubbs is the featured artist of the month at the Ferndale Arts Gallery, 580 Main St. in Ferndale.

Tubbs and his wife moved to Ferndale in 2001. Prior to that, he worked for 38 years in the offset printing and graphic design industry.

He has always had a love of photograph­y and spent over 50 years shooting and processing film. In 2003, he embraced the age of digital photograph­y and has taken off as a local artist.

He has been a member of Ferndale’s gallery for several years.

Tubbs enjoys capturing surprising events in nature such as a mother swallow teaching her youngsters how to catch insects or a small green tree frog peering from the petals of a rose.

He also appreciate­s the area’s redwood forests and rugged coastline. The prospect of finding these scenes keeps him spending endless hours in nature with his camera. He also loves creating portrait and product images.

Tubbs’ photograph­s have been featured in Shutterbug Magazine and San Francisco Magazine as well as on the cover of Urge, the weekly entertainm­ent section of the TimesStand­ard.

In 2019, Tubbs started the Ferndale Photograph­y Group for local photograph­ers interested in sharing their experience­s and skills with new aspiring photograph­ers.

His prints, both framed and unframed, as well as greeting cards and his books, are available at Ferndale Arts Gallery. For more informatio­n, call 707786-9634 or visit www. ferndalear­ts.com.

Tubbs’ photograph­s have been featured in Shutterbug Magazine and San Francisco Magazine.
