This photo from the 3rd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition Album is a good example of the quality photos you’ll find in all of the U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition Albums. The tree is an old Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata) from the Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection. It’s one of 248 fine bonsai that are featured in the 3rd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition Album.
The photos that we’ve been featuring from last weekend’s 4th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition are not the final ones. The official high quality professional photos will appear in 4th Exhibition Album and nowhere else (stay posted). Enjoying the photos in the Exhibition Albums is the next best thing to actually showing up and viewing the trees live.
As long as we’re on the topic of Exhibition Albums, we still have some from the 3rd Exhibition left. The price is right and we just happen to be running a Bonsai Book Sale that ends tonight (11:59pm EDT).
The 3rd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition Album is available at Stone Lantern and at International Bonsai.
The 2nd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition Album is available at International Bonsai.
Alas, the The 1st U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition Album is out of print.
As long as were talking about Bill Valavanis’ books, this sublime shot of a radiant Golden Full Moon maple by Bill is one of 281 brilliant full-page photos that appear in the exceptionally beautiful Fine Bonsai, Art and Nature.
