Tahoe is full of interesting local characters, including our birds and wildlife…
Often unnoticed, these creatures lead lives similar to our own like this Magpie and Owl hanging out together, and this momma bear and cub.
But one local, internationally renowned wildlife photographer, Jim Stamates, has made it his business to notice, and better yet, document nature on film for all to enjoy.
Don’t miss his free multimedia presentation at the South Lake Tahoe library on November 5th starting at 6pm.
“Wildlife and Birds of Lake Tahoe” and a special show on the “Kokanee of Taylor Creek” along with images of local bears and birds by Jim Stamates.
A short trip to Costa Rica will be an added adventure.
Wednesday, November 5
6 PM to 7:30 PM – Refreshments will be served.
El Dorado County Library, South Lake Tahoe

Stamates champions his low impact field techniques with his entertaining and informative lecture, “The Theory of Rhythms.” “Rhythms” focuses on our relationship to the natural world defining, in a humorous way, the difference between natural and artificial rhythms.
About Jim:
Jim Stamates is a world renowned wildlife photographer who has resided in South Shore for more than 30 years. As a wildlife photographer for 30 years, Jim has been published world-wide, and developed ‘low impact field techniques” for nature photographers. In addition to his photography, he has also developed “In The Rhythm Tours and WorkshopsTM.
Jim describes his Theory of Rhythms:
“I have always used ‘natural rhythms’ to connect with wildlife but never really understood how, or why, it worked. The more I researched my theory the more I understood how natural rhythms play a very important part in my photography and my life. I am now able to use it more effectively.
It is how I make photographs that bring the spirit of the subject to the viewer of my images. When I go on a shoot, I seldom go with a preconceived idea of what I am looking for. Instead, I wait to see what nature offers me. Getting ‘In The Rhythm’ helps me connect with nature and puts me in the right place when I need to be there. Does it always work? Yes!”
