The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and Walnut Creek Preserve (WCP) invite the public to attend a free presentation on “Seeing with New Eyes,” presented by Ben Mullinax. The program will be held at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve on Saturday, Jan. 21 at 10:30 a.m.

Mullinax will use photography to explore the quote by Dorothea Lange that, “A camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera.” He will show participants how we can use photography to explore and find the extraordinary in the ordinary and show examples of how changes in lighting, time of day, shadows, perspective/viewpoint makes this possible.

The presentation will include photography of nature scenes and macro-photography that reflects the points above.

GPS coordinates to the Nature Center are available at the PAC website, pacolet.org.

For more information or directions, contact the Pacolet Area Conservancy at 828-859-5060 or e-mail landprotection@pacolet.org. The next PAC/WCP program will be held on Feb. 18 on “North Carolina’s Red Wolves: An Imperiled Future,” presented by Christian Hunt with Defenders of Wildlife.
