Aerial Photographs on Display at Grand Hotel

Mackinac Island in a portrait included in Robert Cameron's 1994 book, "Above Mackinac." Mr. Cameron's photographs from 22 "Above" books from around the world are on display at Grand Hotel.

The aerial photography of Robert Cameron is on display in a special exhibit at Grand Hotel into September. The exhibit made its debut at San Francisco's Presidio, where it was held over twice, and is this year's gallery exhibit contributed by West Bluff cottagers Richard and Jane Manoogian.

Mr. Cameron, who is Jane Manoogian's father, has been a photographer since he was 10 years old and began his career as a news photographer for the Des Moines Register in 1933. He learned aerial photography during World War II and has published 22 "Above" books, including "Above Mackinac," which feature aerial photographs of cities and landscapes all over the world. At age 95, he still is active. His latest book, "Above Mexico City", was published in 2004.

A special reception for the photographer is being held Sunday, June 4, at the hotel.
