Pine Bush Perspectives: A Juried Photo Exhibit

First place last year in the “Pine Bush Perspectives” photo context went to Robert Stone for his picture of an oak leaf on a bed of fallen leaves.

The Albany Pine Bush Preserve is now accepting submissions for the second Pine Bush Perspectives juried photo exhibit.

Environmental Educator Sara Poggi-Decker, the project coordinator said in a release from the preserve, “So many visitors to the preserve capture amazing moments on camera and this is the perfect opportunity to share those with the Albany Pine Bush community.”

Entrants may be any age or skill level. Minors must have parental permission in order to submit photos.

She continued, “Photos can range from a butterfly, a perfectly framed landscape or hikers on the trail. Share your perspective of the Pine Bush and help us to display this globally rare ecosystem.”

Photos must be submitted by the original photographer and must have been taken in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. Each photographer may submit up to three photos. Entries may be submitted online at www.AlbanyPineBush.org/Photo-exhibit.

The deadline to submit photos is Sept. 15.

Entries will be judged by jurors selected by the Albany Pine Bush Preserve Commission Juried Photo Exhibit Committee. Submission does not guarantee entry. Entrants will be notified by Oct. 5 of their entry status. All accepted photographs will require final preparation by the artist and must be framed and have wire for hanging. Some accepted photographs may be used in magnets to be sold in the Discovery Center gift shop and other locations.

The exhibit will open on Nov. 1 with an awards presentation and small reception in the Discovery Center. For more details, visit www.AlbanyPineBush.org/Photo-exhibit or call 518-456-0655.
