Lecture: Changing the Storyteller: Learning to See Wild Florida

Changing the Storyteller: Learning to See Wild Florida presented by George McKenzie Jr. Following a screening of The Book of George, National Geographic Explorer George McKenzie Jr. shares how photography transformed not only the direction of his life, but also the way he sees the natural world. Through images spanning his early wildlife work with pigeons and rats in New York City to camera trapping Florida panthers, black bears, and other rarely seen species, George explores the patience required to reveal hidden lives, the importance of connected landscapes, and how the person behind the camera can change the conservation story being told. George McKenzie Jr. is a National Geographic Explorer, award-winning wildlife photographer, filmmaker, educator, and visual storyteller. He is the subject of the award-winning documentary The Book of George. Truist Auditorium, free event!
