Our February meeting will host Tosh Brown, acclaimed author and photographer from right here in South Texas. Tosh will be presenting a slide show full of beautiful fishing photos from South Texas to exotic places around the world. Tosh will be hosting a book signing in conjunction with the meeting and will be featuring his new book “Grazing Across Texas”. He will be bringing copies of his books to the meeting for sale as well, for those who have not had the opportunity to get their hands on one yet.
Tosh has been in the sporting industry for quite some time, having a previous 10 year career working for a sporting travel outfitter and as a hunting lodge owner. His pristine skills in photography were developed through years of trial and error, searching for that perfect shot to grace his own advertising materials. With his photography skills sharpened, Tosh decided to pursue full rime photography in 1999. Less than 10 years later, Tosh’s work has adorned the pages of over 50 outdoor magazines, including Fly Fish America, Field & Stream, Fly Tyer, Outdoor Life, Salt Water Sportsman and Salt Water Fly Fishing. His photos can also be found on a number of other publications used for professional advertising by many recognizable national companies. You may have also seen some of his work in Texas Parks and Wildlife Publications. Tosh’s work ranges among fishing, hunting and other nature subjects across the globe.
Tosh graduated from the University of Texas in 1986 and currently lives in Austin with his wife and two children. When he is not working magic with his camera, Tosh is found spending time with his family and in the outdoors.
