[From Winter 2006 - 2007]
We are proud to announce a new photography
display at the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge. Skip
Stephenson's photos are now on display in the auditorium in the visitor center
of the refuge, located south of Cape Charles, Virginia. His pictures range from
a beautiful perching eagle to shorebirds in flight to the simplicity of a
feather on the beach. Anyone who loves nature and has tried to save it with
photos is welcome to come see Skip's efforts. Skip is new to the world of nature
photography but is jumping into it with both feet and a pair of Nikon cameras.
Displaying photographs on or near refuges is a new program for the Eastern Shore
of Virginia NWR. In an effort to show visitors that they can take a little of
the refuge with them with no harm to the resource, we have been offering
exhibits of how other photographers have viewed the refuge. Starting off the
program were members of the Tidewater Photography Club with shots from their
tour of Fisherman Island. This was followed by refuge volunteer George Budd's
examples of digiscope photography. Now we have Skip's view of wildlife on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia NWR and Fisherman Island NWR.
We are looking for more artists who would like to display their special
snapshots of life on wildlife refuges. If you are interested, please contact
outdoor recreation planner Yvonne Schultz at 757-331-2760 or
yvonne-schultz@fws.gov .
