Blue Earth Alliance Photographers

April 22 - June 6

Eight award-winning Blue Earth Alliance photographers present their perspectives on the environment and the impacts of climate change from the Alps to glacial ice caves, and through the eyes of Sami reindeer herdsmen, remote villagers and suburban dwellers. Blue Earth Alliance raises awareness about endangered cultures, threatened environments and social concerns through photography.

Featured photographers include Gary Braasch, the 2006 recipient of the Ansel Adams Award for conservation photography by the Sierra Club. Since 1980, Braasch has documented natural history and environmental issues, including the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Benjamin Drummond is a Seattle-based freelance photojournalist documenting the human impacts of climate change. Camille Seaman is an award-winning photographer who has traveled to more than 30 countries capturing timeless images of indigenous cultures and environments. Phil Borges has visited and documented indigenous and tribal cultures around the world for more than 25 years. Rebecca Norris Webb's work explores the relationship between people and animals in cities. Florian Schulz is a world-renowned, award-winning nature photographer whose current work focuses on the region from Yellowstone to the Yukon. Perry Dilbeck's work focuses on the livelihoods of Southern truck farmers. Tammy Cromer-Campbell documents environmental injustice.
