 My name is Eduardo del Solar. I was born and raised in Lima, Peru. Presently I reside in the New England area of the USA where I have been working as a public school teacher in the city of Boston the last 25 years .
A great deal of my job takes place inside the confines of school walls. Nature photography provides me a distinct break from the work that goes on indoors, inside a classroom. During the week ends and vacations, I find myself quite ready to go at, or before, sunrise. These are times when the light seems to be so sweet and the natural world is so transformed!
In the last few years I have been concentrating in nature photography. From December 2005 to December 2006 I engaged in a one year project at the Boston Nature Center with the purpose of honing my photographic skills and advancing my web design skills. Presently I am engaged in a three to five year Birds of the Americas project, a project that has taken me to Peru, Costa Rica and Galapagos. My goal is to photograph what is available to me in the New England area all the way down to my native country. To see some of my projects, follow the links below:
