Globally rare pine barrens captured in photographs
“Lost in the Midst of the Trees” by Lorraine Boyd was the 2023 Pine Bush Perspectives winner.
The annual Pine Bush Perspectives juried photo exhibit is on display both inside the Albany Pine Bush Preserve’s Discovery Center and along the preserve’s blue trail behind the center.
Members of the public may vote for their favorite photo at www.AlbanyPineBush.org/photo-exhibit.
“We install the Pine Bush Perspectives exhibit in several different locations and ways to provide visitors opportunities to enjoy it however they’d like,” said Discovery Center Manager Blake Hastie Etchison in a release announcing the show. “Each visitor views the Albany Pine Bush Preserve from a unique vantage point worthy of celebrating and sharing.”
The jurors, Denise Hackert-Stoner and Scott Stoner of Naturelogues, selected photographs that represent a diversity of content and vision.
The exhibit, sponsored by the Friends of the Pine Bush Community, is free and will be open through March 1. The Discovery Center is located at 195 New Karner Road.
“The Friends are pleased to celebrate and recognize all of the photographers who captured so many exceptional perspectives of the Albany Pine Bush,” said Friends’ treasurer Richard Naylor in the release. “We hope the images exhibited will inspire others to go afield with their camera and experience something new.”
