Event Description:
Join us for the March Lunchtime Expedition, "Wildlife Photography in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: Biodiversity, Human Interactions, and Ethics," presented by Julia Cook.
Speaker Julia Cook uses a variety of her images to discuss a range of ideas relating to wildlife photography, specifically in Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, including why the area is one of the best locations for wildlife photography. She also covers her recent photojournalism project, “This is Grizzly Bear Country: Human Grizzly Interactions in the Yellowstone Ecosystem.” Completed for her fellowship as the 2022 Larsh Bristol Photojournalism Fellow at the University of Wyoming, the project highlights the complex ways humans and bears interact within a shared landscape, with images showing the possibility of coexistence. Wildlife photography and viewing ethics are also discussed.
Support for the Draper’s Lunchtime Expedition series has been made possible by Sage Creek Ranch and the Nancy-Carroll Draper Charitable Foundation.
