For those that don’t know 2014 celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act passed in 1964. The Smithsonian will be showcasing photos that depict wilderness and all we have to be thankful for today due to the Wilderness Act. The show goes through early summer 2015.
Last January Adrian Klein was fortunate enough to have 5 out of 300 semi-finalist images selected from the thousands submitted. Given how much he enjoys the outdoors, especially wilderness areas, this meant a lot to him.
Out of the final 300 images two of his have been selected for display in this exhibition, one for People in Wilderness and one for Scenic Landscapes. Not sure he will make it to the exhibit to see his images on display yet it’s nice to know he has a small part in shaping the view all the visitors will have into our wilderness with this exhibition.
The two images in this post are the ones selected for the exhibit. It’s a reminder to be appreciative for all the wilderness areas we have available to explore today thanks to the Wilderness Act. Congrats to all the winning photographers. Happy exploring and photographing!
