Staff Report from Vail Daily VAIL, Colorado — Vail Rotarians Peter Leslie and Rick Spitzer are exhibiting photos at the Vail Library beginning today. The photos will be on display through the end of the month.

Leslie has taken photos in more than 60 countries. His photos have been published in the U.S. and in Thailand and his works are in private collections all over the world. Leslie’s home in Vail has “splendid” views of the Gore Range, and many of the photos exhibited show the local mountains in many different lights, weather and at different times of the year, he said.

“After working and living all around the world, I am happy to have at last settled down in my retirement in this great mountain community,” Leslie said. “Now I can show my appreciation for all those who have encouraged and supported me over the years by helping others, while at the same time enjoying my hobby of photography.”

Spitzer is publishing a book of photos of Colorado mountains. He is a keen photographer and some of his photos can be seen at his Web site, .http://spitzerphoto.com.

As a Colorado native, Spitzer feels that the Vail area is an ideal spot to enjoy the Colorado Rockies. A love of photography has taken him all over the Vail area and to the four corners of the state. Those photos are one part of the exhibit at the Vail Library.
