The slideshow I will be presenting encompasses two recent trips, one to South America and Antarctica, and the second to Iceland.
I will take you on my South American journey to San Diego, Valparaiso, Buenos Aires, and to the Iguazu Falls as seen from both Argentina and Brazil. These images will be followed by the Antarctic section, which includes the Falkland Islands, illustrating the breathtaking beauty of this continent and its different breeds of penguins. My second series of images will reveal Iceland, an island of impressive waterfalls, geophysical events, the famous Icelandic ponies, and all of these in this most spectacular of landscapes.

Biography (text by Danny Taran)
I have been a member of the Montreal Camera Club since 1978 and was Club President from 1982 to 1984.
My travels over the years to the seven continents of the world inspired my passion for photography. I used my
camera to record the different cultures and scenery that I encountered in my travels both for my own and the
pleasure of others.
For the last ten years, I have dedicated my life to different philanthropic causes, using my photography as a
vehicle to raise funds. My first endeavor was to award individuals who increased their charitable donations by awarding them with a print of their choice from over 100 images. These images were from my collection and that of six other Club members who also graciously donated their photographs.
Another fundraising project was my self-published 252-page coffee table book, The 4000 Year Journey in Search of Peace. Ten thousand books were printed and sold, raising over $400,000 for different charities.
The Liane and Danny Taran Foundation is my current undertaking. I have donated over 1,400 framed photographs to hospitals and retirement homes to make them more humane and comforting and to bring
art and beauty into these often-sterile environments.
