A retrospective exhibition of his prints continues through March 15 at the Santa Monica Mountains Range National Parks Visitor Center in Thousand Oaks. He is also the co-author of the book Range on the Edge-The Santa Monica Mountains. Webster's photography focuses on landscape and architectural subjects in California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii. With an extensive background in media production, he was a UCLA Arts Extension faculty member and program chair for more than 20 years. The two photographers have been presenting “Wandering Around Outdoors” photography workshops for a number of years. For more information, go to tomgamache.com.
