Photographer Jim Codington Takes Us on a Wild Adventure, February 14,
10:30 AM, Berger Center
Come Early: Refreshments at 10 AM
Photographer Jim Codington will take us on an unforgettable journey
through some of the world's most untouched and awe-inspiring
landscapes. Through his lens, viewers will be transported to the remote
Arctic, where they will witness breathtaking images of polar bears
traversing the glacial plateaus of the extreme north, captured through
traditional photography and immersive 360-degree video footage. His
expertise in wildlife photography, honed over years of exploration,
allows his audience to develop a profound connection with nature that
few can experience firsthand. Jim's presentation will also take
attendees soaring above the rugged Alaskan backcountry, where his
compelling drone footage will offer a bird's-eye view of the untamed
wilderness in search of the majestic bald eagle. But the journey does
not stop there-viewers will also be treated to intimate and striking
images of lions, polar bears, and bald eagles, alongside breathtaking
landscapes of Iceland's glaciers and waterfalls, as well as the lush
rolling plateaus of Palouse in eastern Washington. More than just a
visual spectacle, Jim's presentation is infused with riveting stories
of adventure, deep respect for wildlife, and a passion for
conservation. His most recent book, Whispers in the Wild, will also be
available for attendees to purchase, with all proceeds generously
donated to cheetah conservation projects in Africa. Those in attendance
will have the special opportunity to meet Jim and hear firsthand about
his experiences. Having greatly enjoyed speaking at Oakmont last year,
Jim is honored to return and share his latest collection of images and
stories, offering his audience a rare glimpse into the wonders of the
natural world.
