“Lake of the Sky” Unveiled

On Saturday, July 29, 2017, Gallery Keoki hosted a reception for Keoki’s newest image release, “Lake of the Sky”.  The evening included a slide presentation of Keoki’s trip skiing on the volcanos in Kamchatka, Russia, and we also were provided a sneak peek of his most recent adventures in the Galapagos Islands. 
 
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday, both longtime friends and new.  A special thank you to Matt Reardon and Amy Blankenship, featured in the new image, and their baby, Louisiana Sky, who lent us her name.  Thanks to Tahoe Blue Vodka for sponsoring our Tahoe Blue Mules, and uncorked for providing beautiful red and white wines from Spain.
 
The Gallery Keoki Team extends our gratitude for your continued support.
 
Keoki, Lynn and Elysia

Gallery Keoki’s third Annual Celebrity Hobnob

This Year’s Squaw Dogs Event was a giant Woof.   The welcoming committee were on their paws, and the “Puparrazi” were everywhere.  This year the entire team was present and celebrating.  From the unveiling of the new 2015 Team photo, to the auctioning off of the one-of-a-kind signed Paw do Print,  everyone had a blast and raised some well needed funds for The Squaw Valley Avalanche Rescue Dog & Education Fund.  To all the local sponsors who helped support this incredible program –  Thank You.2015Cel

Tahoe Summit 2013 Save the Lake

Former Vice President of the United States, Al Gore was this year’s Key note Speaker at the Tahoe Summit

 

Sand Harbor took on a bright new look last week as Senator Majority Leader,  Harry Reid  and The Tahoe fund hosted this year’s Tahoe Summit on it’s shores.  An all-star cast including, Governors Jerry Brown and Brian Sandoval, representatives, Dianne Feinstein and Mark Amodei  all came out to celebrate Tahoe’s past decade of environmental success.  Planet Earth’s champion and renown environmentalist, Al Gore,  delivered a fiery key note speech describing in detail many of the planet’s environmental challenges while at the same time sending an unmistakably positive message about our ability to change our future path.   He shared scientific data that proves our efforts are paying off and that the past patterns of diminishing visibility have been reversed.   Like many in the crowd, I was quite surprised about how much has been accomplished in Tahoe since his last visit with President Clinton over a decade ago… It was a proud moment for so many people and organizations who recognize the preciousness of Tahoe’s crystal waters and the vulnerability of the basin.  One by one each speaker spoke with passion and conviction  pledging their continued political support and demanding all in the audience to hear the call to action.  If we have any hope to sustain the precious ecological balance of Tahoe’s Blue world,  we all have to do our part.

What an amazing weekend.  Invited to participate in the 108th Explorers Club Annual Dinner (ECAD) and Celebrations my business partner, Lynn Gibson, and I arrived  at the Waldorf Astoria in black tie and ceremonial dress with a thousand people from around the world on Saturday night.  Both the cocktail hour and post dessert receptions featured exotic menu items ranging from beaver, muskrat, camel,  scorpions, earthworms, and more.  The silent auction offered incredible adventure trips, a ride in zero gravity and a donation of a communicator and phaser donated by Star Trek’s Gene Roddenberry.

During the night many awards were given to amazing adventurers who reflected deeply on the theme of the night, “Sacred Spaces.”  President Alan Nichols proudly announced that this was the very first ECAD to be live streamed as a special call came in from the International Space Station Commander, to congratulate astronauts John Glenn and Chris Carpenter for their President’s Legends Medals.  Next up,  Erden Eruc   received a Citation of Merit for spending 5 years and eleven days circumnavigating the globe in a row boat.  The night closed with James Cameron describing ECAD as the Academy Awards for explorers, sharing his passion about carrying the Explorers Club flag to the deepest depths of our planet’s oceans.  Throughout  the night a kaleidoscope of images was projected onto the grand room’s walls and ceiling showing far away galaxies and disappearing glacial sanctuaries.
