We invite you to participate in the 2nd annual juried nature photography exhibition

Nature, UndisturbedTM 
April 16 - April 25, 2010
Dogwood Gallery, Tyrone

Nature UndisturbedTM is a celebration of the natural world.  The show brings together a diverse collection of photography showcasing the wonders of nature that many don’t take the time to see.  It is the hope of the show creators that after viewing the photography, you are inspired to get out on the not-so-beaten path.  Perhaps you happen to take along a camera to capture the light through the leaves and continue to enjoy that day each time you view the photo.  This is the show that brings the outside in for all to enjoy.  Come, see the show and look through our windows on the world around us.

In the fall of 2008 Southern Conservation Trust approached Donna Rosser about having a photography event featuring her photos.  Rosser visits Trust properties frequently to shoot.  As soon as Rosser heard this she immediately thought of not just a photography event of her work – but an event that would feature photographs from many.  Rosser envisioned a juried show bringing together photographers, photography collectors, and nature enthusiasts.  With the plans for the show well underway, one thing was still not decided; the location.  Dogwood Gallery was interested in hosting a photography event.  Rosser knew with an excellent location like Dogwood and the talented photographers in the Atlanta area, the show would be a winner.  Nature, Undisturbed's inaugural year drew almost 200 hundred entries.

Like the 2009 show, next year's exhibition will showcase the simple, yet majestic, beauty of nature, wildlife, and our local landscapes. Each unique image echos the sentiment "a picture is worth a thousand words"; a powerful reinforcement for the importance of greenspace and natural habitat protection for future generations of people and wildlife. 

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Southern Conservation Trust, a nonprofit land trust dedicated to preserving natural areas in the Southern Crescent for enjoyment today and future generations.

Amateur and professional photographers are encouraged to submit one to four nature photos in either one or both categories:

1. 1“Nature, Undisturbed”TM for photographs featuring nature in any location.
   

2. 2“Trust Preserves” for images taken at one of the three Southern Conservation Trust’s public preserves in Fayette County: Sams Lake Sanctuary south of Fayetteville, Line Creek Nature Area on Hwy 54 in Peachtree City, and Flat Creek Nature Area next to the Peachtree City Amphitheater.
