Curt Peters Displays Original Costa Rica Photos at Library
Curt Peters is pleased to announce his photo show at Siuslaw Public Library. This show consists of 35 unreleased images from Curt’s journeys to Costa Rica.
Curt has been traveling to and photographing the vibrant heart of Costa Rica’s rainforests for over 30 years. He loves spending hours in the humidity, waiting motionless amid sudden rains and insect swarms with some of his photographic treasures which include: fiery red-crowned woodpeckers, soaring white-fronted parrots, blazing summer tanagers, cobalt land crabs, curious white-faced capuchins, golden-mantled howlers, rainbow scarlet macaws, crested plumed basilisks, jewel-like hummingbirds, velvet gartered trogons, emerald great green macaws, cascading pagoda flowers and lobster-claw heliconias, massive-billed chestnut-mandibled toucans, scarlet-gazed red-eyed treefrogs, jade-tailed resplendent quetzals, slow-dreaming brown-throated sloths and a spectacled owl. These images capture the rainforest’s explosive colors, intoxicating smells, and untamed sounds-a living tapestry of wonder.
Curt Peters is an award-winning photographer and master printer based in Florence, Oregon. With over 50 years of experience in photography, he has dedicated his career to capturing the beauty of landscapes, wildlife, and human moments while mastering the art of digital imaging and fine art printing.
Curt’s journey began in his youth, sparked by early experiments with cameras that quickly evolved into a lifelong passion. After brief studies at Oregon State University, he transferred to the University of Arizona in Tucson, honing his skills amid diverse environments. Post-college, he pointed his lens at the landscapes of 27 countries, from the Caribbean to Alaska, building a vast portfolio of hundreds of thousands of images. Upon settling down in Florence in 2006, he founded “Digital Dunes Photography”. Digital Dunes Photography offers a full spectrum of services: wedding, portrait, senior, family, event, and product photography, alongside expert photo restorations, custom fine art printing, and reproductions.
While the commercial work at Digital Dunes Photography sustains the studio, Curt’s true passion lies in fine art landscape and wildlife photography where he has showcased dramatic coastal lighthouses, Thor’s Well, the Siuslaw River Bridge, to name a few locally A full scope of his images can be found on his “Curtis Peters Photography” website, curtpeters.com. Curt says,” I strive for perfection in every stage from ethical wild shooting, meticulous post-processing in Adobe Lightroom Classic to preserve natural tones and details, and obsessive calibration for prints that breath life into the scene.”
This show will be on display from January 2 through the end of the month in the lobby of the Siuslaw Public Library located at 1460 9th Street in Florence.
