AGENDA - HIGHLIGHTS
Illustrated Keynote: Science on Ice: Permafrost & Penguins - Chris Linder
Chris Linder has documented over 30 scientific expeditions from Antarctica to the Congo. In this presentation, he will take us from the bug-infested swamps of the Siberian Arctic, where researchers are struggling to understand how the release of carbon from thawing permafrost will impact global climate, to Antarctica's Ross Island, where scientists are studying how Adélie penguins are responding to both climatic changes and overfishing.
One Photographer's journey: A conversation with Chris Linder
Hear how a trained scientist became an award-winning photographer and is working to change the world one image at a time. Patricia Neal, president and co-founder of Heartland, The Convening Company, will guide the conservation with Chris.
Lunch - Stroll - Shoot!
Stroll the gardens and grounds, and be sure to visit the Tamron and National Camera Exchange tables in the Reedy Gallery to see what's new, get technical advice, and try out the latest equipment.
Bringing it Home
Images of nature are critical to making the case for protecting and preserving Minnesota's natural beauty. Walter Abramson, Director of Development & Communications at the Minnesota Land Trust, will share the Land Trust's list of "special places" in Minnesota so that you can help keep Minnesota beautiful with your photographs.
Q & A with Chris
Chris will speak to the process of how to distill images once you get back from the site/shoot: how to discern what matters, how to know what tells the story.
2:30-4:30 p.m. - Optional Master Class with Chris Linder (Four 30-min. small group sessions)
In the optional and limited master class with Chris Linder, you have an opportunity to increase your macro-photography techniques with Chris at the Arboretum Bog. Limit: 12. Fee: $25/session.
