The photos were taken mostly with M6 over the last couple of years and will be on display at the hotel for at least a year. It has been quite a project, and very well received by the Inn, which is one of the biggest hotels in the area and a kind of social center for the community. So here is an invite to the Redwoods for opening night on August 1, next Saturday. Get out of the heat and enjoy our built in coastal air conditioning (high temps of about 65 F lately).=20 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE North Coast Landscape Photographs Encourage Tourists=92 Stay Eureka, CA, 7/15/98 The Eureka Inn today announced an exhibit by local photographer, Gary Todoroff, that will encourage tourists to =93stay another day=94 to see t= he natural beauty of the North Coast.

He shoots color transparencies, both 35mm and 4x5 films, then he enlarges them using the Ilfochrome (Cibachrome) process, known for it brilliant rendition of color and for archival properties exceeding 100 years for the prints. =93I don=92t make photogra= phs,=94 he said, =93I take them as special gifts, when grace, light and grandeur coincide for a brief moment that I have been privileged to notice and share.=94=20 Visitors are welcome to the opening reception and to visit throughout the year as new photographs are presented at the Eureka Inn exhibit.=20
