Acclaimed Nature Photographer James Balog to present at the Ogden Nature Center

Written by  Brandi Bosworth
Acclaimed Nature Photographer James Balog to present at the Ogden Nature Center
Nature photographer and author James Balog (Bay-log) will present a talk about photographing nature on Saturday, November 20 at 9 a.m. at the Ogden Nature Center.  This presentation is free and open to the public (ages 10 and older).  Seating will be limited to 40. Please call 801-621-7595 to reserve your place by Thursday, November 18.

James Balog is a National Geographic photographer and the founder and director of the Extreme Ice Survey and Earth Vision Trust.  His latest work uses time-lapse video and photography to document the retreat of glaciers worldwide.

Shocked by the changes he saw while shooting the June 2007 National Geographic cover story on melting glaciers, Balog initiated the most wide-ranging glacier study ever conducted.  He has since captured images in Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, Canada, Bolivia, the Alps and the northern U.S. Rockies.  His work has provided a monumental and stunning look at the impact that climate change is having on the world’s glaciers.

Balog’s presentation is sponsored by Weber State University’s Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities and the Weber State University Provost Office.

The Ogden Nature Center is located at 966 W. 12th Street in Ogden, Utah.  For more information about the Ogden Nature Center, please visit www.ogdennaturecenter.org or call 801-621-7595.

Did You Know?

The earth’s largest living organism is an aspen clone, living right here in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains. With 47,000 stems of genetically identical trees, it weighs 6,500 tons (that’s about as heavy as 70 adult blue whales)!
