SNAPSHOT      SOCIETY

Art & Conservation By John Reed, Photography Volunteer & Snapshot Society Instructor

People often forget that Zoos, and certainly our Zoo, exist not just to entertain, but have a deeper role of species survival and sending a conservation message. With that in mind, this month let us talk about making images with an artistic bent in the hopes that those images will inspire others to care more about plants and animals. The more they care, the more they will support conservation activities. This is my primary goal with my zoo photographs, and especially so when I set out to turn an image into a more artful presentation.
