Leslie Jean-Bartt
I remained sane while being my mother’s care giver for well over a decade by working on my series “Reality and Imagination”.
In “Reality and Imagination” I photograph the movement of the tide and sand, in Coney Island Brooklyn, as a visual exploration of the interaction between the culture of the host country and the culture of the immigrant living there. The silhouette & shadow became the two elements used to move that concept forward. The cultures automatically interact in a motion that is instantly fluid and turbulent, just as the sand and the tide. It’s a constant movement in unison where each always retains its distinctive characteristics. This creates a duality that is always present.
The images in the series are basically as they are in the instant shot.

Zinnia Gutowski
Wildlife always fascinated me while growing up on our family farm in the Philippines. After graduating with a B.S. in Animal Husbandry, I returned to manage our farm. After a few years, I had the opportunity to work at an animal feed laboratory to study the effects of the nutritional content of the feed on the health of small and large animals.
I immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980's during a turbulent time in our country, and found the accounting field as sustainable. After 36 years in accounting, I transitioned to pursue photography with a focus on my original interest of wildlife and nature.

Ian Hutton
For me, living on Lord Howe Island is like living inside a David Attenborough documentary. Outside my front door is the Island rainforest – alive with the calls of rare endemic birds. A 30-minute walk through the palm forest and into the hills takes me to 200 metre high cliffs, and from there I can see many of the Island’s 14 seabird species, which breed in tens of thousands every year. The Island’s mountain summits are slightly less accessible, but where else on such a short trek, could one enter a mysterious “coal age” mist forest, clad with mosses, ferns and ancient flowering plants, most of which are totally restricted to that environment. Alternatively, if the mood takes me, I can motor out in my dinghy to the Island’s coral reef (in less than five minutes) and snorkel over a dazzling realm of colourful corals and fish, whose myriad variety stuns the senses.

I am drawing attention to the fact that there is a growing recognition that biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to future generations. And that we need to preserve the number of species that are being significantly reduced by climate change.
Biological diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms, but it also includes genetic differences within each species — for example, between varieties of crops and breeds of livestock — and the variety of ecosystems (lakes, forest, deserts, agricultural landscapes) that host multiple kinds of interactions among their members (humans, plants, animals).

Birds are important plant pollinators and seed dispersers. Yet climate change results in increased temperatures which directly affect bird populations reproduction, timing of breeding and migration patterns.
