Rutherford, CALIF.—The Ansel Adams Gallery and Blue Earth will bring the work of fine art landscape photographers to the Mumm Napa Gallery in Rutherford, California, beginning September 19.

The exhibition, titled “Changing Earth: Photographers’ Call to Action” will be displayed for six months. “My grandfather’s photographs demonstrated that artistic interpretation can raise public awareness, change perceptions and alter understanding about our world,” said Matthew Adams. “It is in that spirit that The Ansel Adams Gallery has joined Blue Earth and Mumm Napa to do the same.”

“Changing Earth: Photographers’ Call to Action” presents the work of eight contemporary photographers: Daniel Beltra, Benjamin Drummond, Stephen Harrison, Anne Marie Musselman, Camille Seaman, Florian Schulz, John Trotter and Rebecca Norris Webb, each selected by The Ansel Adams Gallery and Blue Earth for their artistic depictions of endangered cultures, threatened environments and topics of social concern.  Their subjects include the Amazon, Colorado River Delta, wildlife corridors, the effect of climate change on local people, wildlife rescue, Siberia defrosted, animals in captivity and Earth as inspiration.

this is pretty amazing. If everyone saw this they would probably realize that the earth is going to end if we don't change soon.
