Nature's Last Great Places - in response to place

In Response to Place is a group exhibition of new work that reveals the vital and diverse interrelations of human beings and the natural world through the eyes of a dozen distinguished contemporary photographers. The pictures in Nature's Last Great Places, which aired Thursday, 6/16/05 from 5:30-6 p.m. ET on WTVS, Detroit Public TV, depict a world markedly different from both classical wilderness photography and the more skeptical style of the "man-altered landscape," suggesting that the beauty of nature and the reality of human presence are not antithetical.

The photographers have been selected to reflect a variety of approaches to the medium, including portraiture and photojournalism in addition to landscape and nature photography. Their work is marked by a strong connection to the subject matter and by its attachment to the emotional particularity of "place."

Exhibit
