Frans Lanting: Jungles
Saturday, Jun 20, 2009 to Aug 30, 2009
Master photographer, storyteller, and naturalist Frans Lanting has traveled the world’s jungles for more than twenty years, from the lowlands of the Congo to the cloud forests of the Andes. Four major themes emerge in the fifty images comprising Jungles: the interplay of water and light; the need for camouflage and color; impressions of growth and movement; and an ode to the wonders of natural selection. From spectacular gatherings of rainbow-colored macaws to the misty exhalations of a forest at dawn, Lanting explores, in his words, “the feeling of the forest rather than the science of it.”

American Ruins
Saturday, Jun 20, 2009 to Aug 30, 2009
Fifty infrared photographs by Arthur Drooker celebrate historic ruins that stand in defiance of time to form a tangible link to our shared American past. Sites range from ancient Native American dwellings in the southwest and remains of Gilded Age mansions on the east coast to Civil War-era ruins and a king’s summer home in Hawaii. With their crumbled walls, weathered facades, and overgrown fauna captured in the otherworldly glow of infrared, the photographs forge a spiritual connection with those who came before us and capture the visual poetry of the ruins they left behind.
