@ Looking Glass Photo | 1045 Ashby Ave in Berkeley | RSVP Required

 

We invite you to join us at Looking Glass as Think Tank Photo proudly premieres the documentary short film, Wingspan. Featuring the work of the award-winning iLCP photographer Joshua Asel, the film follows Joshua and filmmaking partner Ian Nelson as they make the pre-dawn hike to the peak of Pinnacles National Park to photograph one of the rarest birds on Earth — the critically endangered California Condor. After the screening, there will be a Q&A panel with Joshua and the filmmaking team. Think Tank gear featured in the film will be on display, and we will raffle off a BackLight camera backpack! Space is limited so an RSVP is required to attend.

 

 

 

The California Condor is the largest North American land bird. It became extinct in the wild in 1987 when all remaining wild individuals were captured, but has since been reintroduced to northern Arizona and southern Utah (including the Grand Canyon area and Zion National Park), the coastal mountains of California, and northern Baja California in Mexico.
