Strings to present Chamber music
Recognized photographers Trisha
Dale Green and Owen Phairis present the
challenges they face capturing images of
local bald eagle and other wonders of the
area Thursday, January 13 at Big Bear Valley
Historical Society’s monthly meeting.
The pair have teamed to capture stunning
close up images of bald eagles, both
nesting and in flight. Some of those images
are featured in a 2022 calendar produced
by Green and Phairis, available at
Big Bear locations including Lodge Podge
in Big Bear City, and others have been included
in this magazine.
Their efforts aren’t limited to eagles
either. Green has photographed scenic locations
throughout these mountains including
along the Santa Ana River and other
wildlife including deer. Phairis meanwhile
is a historian and pilot, and has an amazing
collection of planetarium projectors,
scientific instruments, and memorabilia.
Both Green and Phairis have generously
donated many artifacts and photos
to the museum and some of their photography
are featured in its gift store. They’ll
discuss the equipment they use for their
