I am a research biologist and teacher who has used photography as a tool for documenting research results and obtaining visually compelling and informative images for teaching about the beauty and wonders of nature. I also have a keen interest in natural history and have learned that cameras provide ways to observe and learn about biological systems in their native context while spending time outdoors. As a scientist I particularly enjoy experimenting with techniques that reveal aspects of the natural world that might otherwise be unseen. During my presentation I will share with you some of my photographs and videos that exemplify the beauty and wonders of nature that we have in the environments around south-central Indiana. In the process I will also discuss some of the ways I’ve used photography in my scientific research, my classroom teaching, and in raising public awareness of the natural world in which we live.

Guest Presentation by Kate Houlne: Joy: Using Photography to Reunite Ourselves with Nature

Katherine Houlne was born sometime during the sixties in the suburbs of Chicago Illinois. She received her BFA from Northern Illinois University in 2016 and her MFA from Indiana University in 2019. She is currently teaching photography at IU. Her concerns involve negating the nature/human separation inherent in modern thinking. Houlne’s interests lie in the human changes to the environment, exploring the relationships that people have with the land and its other inhabitants – exploring the systems of a whole. Houlne is currently experimenting with analog film processes that rely on the element of chance, allowing things to happen naturally and fall where they may on the photographic surface.
