Pine Bush Perspectives Photo Exhibit inside & outside at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve

The annual Pine Bush Perspectives juried photo exhibit is currently on display both inside the Albany Pine Bush Preserve’s Discovery Center located at 195 New Karner Road in Albany and the along the preserve’s blue trail behind the Center. “We install the Pine Bush Perspectives exhibit in several different locations and ways to provide visitors opportunities to enjoy it however they’d like,” explained Discovery Center Manager, Blake Hastie Etchison. “Each visitor views the Albany Pine Bush Preserve from a unique vantage point worthy of celebrating and sharing,” she continued.

The jurors, Denise Hackert-Stoner and Scott Stoner of Naturelogues, selected photographs that represent a diversity of content and vision. This collection of photographs gives a unique perspective of the globally-rare inland pine barrens. The public is also given the chance to vote for their favorite photo at www.AlbanyPineBush.org/photo-exhibit.

The exhibit, sponsored by the Friends of the Pine Bush Community, is free and will be open through March 1, 2024. Friends’ treasurer Richard Naylor said, “The Friends are pleased to celebrate and recognize all of the photographers who captured so many exceptional perspectives of the Albany Pine Bush. We hope the images exhibited will inspire others to go afield with their camera and experience something new.”
