Thursday, July 20th, 2006

Obsidian Stock is thrilled to welcome world-renowned travel and nature photographer Christian Heeb as our newest contributor!

Christian and his wife Regula are both Swiss-born, have travelled the world - and yet have chosen to make Central Oregon their permanent home.

Their extraordinary talent and adventurous spirit has led them to travel the world and publish over 90 books, with subjects ranging from Southern Africa, Marocco, France, North America and the Caribbean. Their stories have appeared in travel guides and magazines worldwide, and they are published in up to 15 calendars per year.

Numerous galleries, publishers and international agencies represent their extensive photographic files from around the world, but they have chosen Obsidian Stock to represent their Central Oregon imagery.

And of course when they’re not on the road, they relax from their exhaustive pace on their beautiful ranch home in the high desert of Bend.
