WABI reports on new student-produced journal featuring conservation photography
WABI (Channel 5) reported on the photography featured in the inaugural edition of “Spire,” an online journal of conservation and sustainability based at the University of Maine. The student-produced journal seeks to promote awareness-raising dialogue to unite Maine communities to effect positive environmental change. “How do we engage with these issues of conserving of the natural world around us? Or how do we navigate human interaction with the environment and the challenges that we face as a result of those?” asked Kaitlyn Abrams, editor-in-chief. The journal features animal and landscape photos by Lee Ann and Tom Szelog, WABI reported. “The wildlife has no voice, has no choice, but we — as humans — do have a choice. And Tom and I use our voice along with the photographs to inspire and educate people,” Lee Ann Szelog said. The Maine Woods National Park Photo-Documentation Project, which has photographs in the journal, is on exhibit at the Hudson Museum at the Collins Center for the Arts through June 30.
