“From the Temperate to the Tropics: A Photographic Peregrination”
A Fayetteville native and senior at the University of Arkansas, Stephen Ironside is not currently pursuing a degree in art, though an MFA in photography is beckoning him for graduate school. In any case, he will be pursuing photography professionally with an emphasis on the conservation of foreign cultures and of the natural world. He hopes to use his current biological and anthropological academic backgrounds as starting points, and photography as the medium, to share information about the countless inhabitants of our planet with as many people as possible and to use photography as a means of revitalizing their love for the natural world and respect for cultures besides their own. His photographs strive to be the opposite of abstract; in theory, all who view them will be able to identify, understand, and connect with the subject matter and will want to learn more about what they are seeing. This exhibition takes you on a photographic journey from Arkansas to the jungles of Costa Rica–some of the most natural places in the world.
