TRAILBLAZING 2022
Photo By Monty Orr
Juror: Melissa Dale
Director of Photography, The Nature Conservancy
For our Summer 2022 exhibition the Atlanta Photography Group partnered with The Nature Conservancy (nature.org) to produce a member-based exhibition to encourage people locally, regionally and nationally to do everything in their power to create a world where people and nature can thrive.
This exhibition featured photo-based work around nature, landscape, environmentalism, nature conservation, flora, fauna, nature-based documentary / Fine Art, and work about animals/insects/reptiles/fish and their habitat.
Our esteemed juror for this exhibition was Melissa (Ryan) Dale, Director of Photography for The Nature Conservancy. Ms. Dale will be presented at the APG gallery via live stream during the opening reception, and local representatives from the Georgia Nature Conservancy branch came to the gallery to talk about their mission.
