Students raise environmental issues with photography exhibit
An exhibition called Developing Environmental Consciousness featuring snaps by the students of Penn State in Photography and the Environment course, will start from 29th April and will go on till 3rd May at Borland Gallery from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm from Monday to Friday. On 29th April, Mondy, there will also be a reception at the same place.
Photography and the Environment is actually an advanced pilot course taught by the assistant professor of art Katarin Parizek. The exhibit explores the environment for every personal artist involved. Developing Environmental Consciousness is unique as the multifariousness of students who are taking part in it, with each student aiming on a single project of his/her interest. Their target is to make the issues which they are photographing known in their local communities and around the campus.
Katarin Parizek told that the the photography class of twelve students was aimed on raising awareness of the old and historical problems referring environmental issues as well as the people impacted by the pollution and the environmental disasters in Pennsylvania as well as its surrounding regions. Through their snaps, the artists captured photographs which included not just people and places stirred by man’s exploitation of the earth, but how people are really working very hard to change with programs like the Living Filter Water Recycling Project, where hundred percent of Penn State treated waters get recycled.
Michelle Holt is a native of Toms River, New Jersey that was hit by Hurricane Sandy and her snap of the roller-coaster in water is one the many that show natural disasters’ environmental impact. She told that this is the reality. The hurricane did happen and it tore apart not only homes but lives as well.

Greg Lasley started freelance photography in the year 1988. He has a fascination for wildlife since she was a teenage during 1960s. During mid 1970s, his interest in birds increased when he used to work for Austin Police Department. Just after that he started his journey in photography.
Greg Lasley told that his primary motivation was to document rarities. It used to be you would have someone say they saw something, but with no photo, so no one believed it. In 1988, his hobby paid off when his picture of Golden-cheeked Warbler was published. The picture brought him US$ 300 and more importantly his very first official mark as a professional nature photographer.
After that he continued his work during the 1990s by selling pictures to different nature magazines. His contributed many of his pictures to Texas Birds. Shannon Davies, the editor of Texas A&M University Press noticed his work and in the year 2006 and asked Greg to publish his picture’s collection.
Davies told that Greg has a real connection with nature. He captures the essence of the wildlife, the personality. Greg’s first book named Texas Wildlife Portraits was released in 2008 that offered his vision to a broader audience. His book not only contains not just bird’s pictures, but it also contains pictures of reptiles, amphibians, mammals and insects. Till 2001, he only used to take pictures of birds, but later he started taking other animal’s pictures.
