Lyle Madeson is a painting contractor by trade, but has been taking photographs for 25 years. It started with photographing his gladiola hybrids and soon turned to birds, wildlife, and landscape. His photography has become serious business and his work has been published in calendars, magazines, and tourist publications. His wife, Deanna teaches fifth grade at Riviera Elementary. Her main focus in photography is birds. It has become a passionate hobby for both Lyle and Deanna. Their photographs can be seen at Wildwood Gallery, Watershed Books, and Mendo-Lake Credit Union in Lakeport; Guenoc Winery, and are currently featured at the Wine Studio in upper Lake. They show their work at numerous art and wine festivals and have a website with over a thousand photographs ranging from wildlife and birds to landscape, specializing in Lake County and its vineyards.
