Meetings
Grays Harbor Audubon Society holds chapter meetings for members, friends and the public on the first Sunday of the following months: February, April, June, October and December at the Hoquiam Timberland Library. Due to Covid-19, meetings will be held on Zoom.
The April 2, 2023 program meeting will feature Zachary C. Person. He is a photographer based in Puyallup, WA. After nearly two decades of living and working in Oregon, he returned home to Western Washington where he now focuses on documenting complex subject matters in creative, accessible and informative ways. Learn more about his work at: zacharycperson.com.
His recent book: ‘Nisqually Typologies’ photography book documents one year of environmental change at Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge will be highlighted.
“Nisqually Typologies” takes a new approach to documenting a well-known and highly visited wildlife conservation area, focusing exclusively on environmental and ecological features of the refuge and their changes throughout the year. The book features 108 full color photographs of nine different typologies from the refuge: Saltwater, Fresh Water, Sloughs, River, Canopy, Paths, Twin Barns, Field, and Riparian Forest.
Each of the nine typologies includes 12 images, one from each month of 2022, examining the environmental change as the seasons progress.
The images represent the natural environment exactly as found with no additional commentary added, giving the viewer the opportunity to interpret the book and its content in accordance with their own experiences and values. None of the images have been digitally altered to add or remove objects.
While there exist many complex issues, both current and historical, regarding the usage of the lands that now comprise Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, this book does not attempt to address those important issues and focuses solely on the intriguing nature of the present-day environment as a photographic subject worthy of close examination as a singular entity.
