Until recent years, it was not widely known in our

region that Howard Zahniser, the man whose

vision has led to nearly 110 million acres of

wilderness designated on federal public lands, was a

local. Zahniser was not only raised just downriver in

Tionesta, but is in fact laid to rest there, along the banks

of his beloved Allegheny River in Riverside Cemetery.

Recognition of his connection to our area is becoming

more widespread though, thanks to the purposeful work

of Friends of Allegheny Wilderness.

Zahniser’s Wilderness Act is considered to be the most

artfully worded legislation in U.S. statute. Wilderness,

according to the Act, is an area “…where the earth and

its community of life are untrammeled by man, where

man himself is a visitor who does not remain.” The

law provides mechanisms for setting aside significant

tracts of federal land in perpetuity, where low-impact

recreational activities are encouraged, but no resource

extraction or permanent developments are allowed.

Nearly every session of Congress since 1964 has added

to America’s National Wilderness Preservation System.

There are now 758 wilderness areas in 44 states and

Puerto Rico – with more to come. Wilderness areas

are important because they are the only portions of our

country where nature is by law the primary influence;

places where we exercise humility, recognizing that

natural processes will always better steward our

wildlands with the absence of human intervention.

In many ways, this 50th anniversary of the Wilderness

Act exhibition is a very special one for the Crary Art

Gallery. It not only ties this historically significant man

to the area where he spend his boyhood; it reveals the

gravity of his legacy, as seen through the eyes of greatly

talented – even legendary – nature photographers.

Many of these photographers are internationally

renowned. Upon seeing their works, a viewer

immediately comprehends why that is so. One is

transported to a sort of rapturous contemplation and

awe of the wider and wilder world. The photographs

here take us on unforgettable journeys into protected

sanctuaries which are sometimes remote and vast,

other times near and intimate. Through their images,

these photographers’ experiences are brought to us

whole, conveying directly to us these lands where the

term “forever” has a tangible, visceral meaning.

We wish to express our deep gratitude to this

talented group not only for sharing their vision,

but – and this was true for each of them – for so

enthusiastically joining this exhibition and its theme.

They have given us truly superb works to contemplate

and a truly remarkable experience for visitors to

the Crary Art Gallery.

early life

Howard Zahniser was born the son of a Free Methodist minister in northwestern

Pennsylvania in 1906. He developed a deep love for nature in Forest County, budding

in the fifth grade as a member of the Junior Audubon Society. An outdoorsman at heart

and a keen observer of nature’s complexities, later in life chronic health conditions and

his important work on the wilderness legislation often limited him to admire the wild

country from afar, and to ponder its inherent goodness from a philosophical standpoint.

career

Equal to Zahniser’s respect for nature was his affinity for the written word. Trained as a

journalist, Zahniser worked as a book reviewer for Nature Magazine and as an editor

for the U.S. Biological Survey. In 1945, he joined The Wilderness Society, first serving as

executive secretary and editor of the organization’s magazine The Living Wilderness,

and later as the organization’s executive director.

Zahniser came to realize the urgent need for a federal wilderness law during the early

1940s. He knew that unless federal legislation was enacted to permanently safeguard

millions of acres of wild lands under the jurisdictions of federal land management

agencies, conservationists would be destined to fight for protection on a reactionary,

piecemeal basis.

legacy

Although his health was failing, Zahniser wrote 66 drafts of the Wilderness Act between

1956 and 1964 and steered it through 18 hearings. Its passage in 1964 stands in

testament to the dedication and perseverance of this man who deeply felt the worth

of wilderness. The Wilderness Act established the National Wilderness Preservation

System, which now encompasses more than 109 million acres.

Howard Zahniser, a

Tionesta native, became

the legendary leader

of The Wilderness

Society who authored

the original Wilderness

Act of 1964.

Zahniser led The

Wilderness Society

through two decades

of challenges

and landmark

accomplishments.

craig blacklock

Through his extensive photography of Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters

Canoe Area Wilderness, Craig Blacklock has gained an international reputation

for his inspiring landscapes, nudes and technical virtuosity. Photographer/author

of seventeen books, Craig is regularly featured in magazines such as American Photo, Fine Art Photo, Shutterbug and Outdoor Photographer. His original

prints are in museums, private collections, and health care facilities throughout the

U.S. Craig’s background in over 30 years of working in large format shows in his

digital images, with precise, exquisite compositions and hyper-real clarity.

Craig is the son of pioneering color nature photographer,

Les Blacklock. Craig had the opportunity to accompany

his father on photography trips from the time he was

three. By age five, Craig was making his own images

alongside his dad.

After two years as an art major at the University of

Minnesota, Duluth, Craig joined his parents in Blacklock

Nature Photography. Craig’s early career found him

traveling over much of the nation, but in the early 1980s

he decided to dedicate most of the rest of his career

to photographing the Boundary Waters Canoe Area

Wilderness and Lake Superior. He circumnavigated Lake

Superior in his kayak as part of the making of his award-

winning, best-selling book, The Lake Superior Images. He later photographed his wife, Honey Blacklock for their

award-winning collaborative book, A Voice Within — The Lake Superior Nudes.

Craig has now switched to digital still and video cameras.

This lead to his work with the Center for Spirituality

and Healing, producing nature videos for stress relief

and healing under the titleWellscapes. He has taught

photography workshops since 1982, providing guidance

in capture, editing and printing. He personally makes all of

his own prints in his gallery in Moose Lake, Minnesota. For

Clyde Butcher’s black and white photographs explore his personal relationship with the

environment. For more than fifty years, he has been preserving on film the untouched areas

of the landscape. He has been honored by the state of Florida with the highest award that

can be given a private citizen: the Artist Hall of Fame Award. He was also privileged to receive

the Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association

and given the honor of being the Humanitarian of the Year for 2005 from Florida International

University. He has also received the 2007 Distinguished Artist Award from the Florida House

in Washington DC and the Sierra Club has given him the Ansel Adams Conservation Award,

which is given to a photographer who shows excellence in photography and has contributed

to the public awareness of the environment.

Collections of his work can be seen in his books: Portfolio I - Florida Landscapes; 7995

Limited Edition Collection; Visions for the Next Millennium; Nature’s Places of Spiritual

Sanctuary; Florida Landscape; Living Waters - Florida’s Aquatic Preserves; Cuba - The Natural

Beauty; Apalachicola River - An American Treasure; America the Beautiful: The Monumental

Landscape; Big Cypress Swamp - The Western Everglades; Portfolio II - Florida Landscapes

and in his biography, Seeing the Light: Wilderness and Salvation, a Photographer’s Tale.

Public Broadcasting has completed an award-winning documentary on Clyde, Visions of

Florida. A second video, Big Cypress Preserve: Jewel of the Everglades, featuring Clyde,

is also an award-winning program. Clyde was the host in the award-winning nature

documentaries: Living Waters - Aquatic Preserves of Florida, Big Cypress Swamp - The

Western Everglades; Kissimmee Basin - The Northern Everglades, and the featured guest in

the award-winning nature documentary, Apalachicola River -An American Treasure.

“People protect what they love. But, you can’t protect what you don’t understand. Clyde Butcher makes us want to understand, because he touches our hearts and our heads follow. No one can view Butcher’s remarkable work without being awestruck by the Everglades and its embodiment of nature herself.”

Robert John Clements was born and raised in Western South Dakota, near

the Badlands. He attended the University of South Dakota and University of

Wisconsin, La Crosse, and University of Wisconsin, River Falls. He has been a

working artist and photographer for most of his adult life. He was the owner

and director of the Robert Clements Gallery in Portland, Maine for several years

before returning to his prairie roots. He currently runs the Robert Clements Gallery

in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. More of his work can be found on the web at

Above Sage Creek Wilderness Badlands National Park, SD

Even through the distractions of my high school years in Wall, South Dakota, I knew the Badlands (Mako Sica - Lakota for Land Bad) was a special place.

My friends and I used to drive there to see the sunset, or the moonrise, and to watch herds of buffalo or deer. We also saw occasional Big Horn sheep.

The Source of the Legend of Tatanka and the Cedar Tree Sage Creek Wilderness Area, SD

As I approached Sage Creek early one spring morning, a thick fog prevailed. I knew the bison were nearby; I could see fresh tracks and hear the tearing of grass as they

ate. Then the giants materialized out of the fog. I followed this old bull until the flicking of his tail indicated his irritation with my presence.

“Anyone can love the mountains; it takes soul to love the prairie.” The quote has been attributed to several people, including Teddy Roosevelt, Willa Cather, and an anonymous Nebraska sodbuster. Whoever first said or wrote it, I thank you. It resonate with me. Growing up on a farm/ranch consisting of large swathes of unplowed prairie grasses influenced the way I see, the way I feel, and my approach to my work. Out here, the sun, the sky, and the earth combine to create lights and shadows unavailable elsewhere on the planet. To learn to capture that subtle beauty is a privilege. I approach my work with a painter’s eye.”

Kevin Ebi fell in love with nature early in life; it took many more years for him to

discover his passion for photography. Growing up, Kevin went on many outings

with his parents to Pacific Northwest national parks, particularly Mount Rainier and

Olympic in Washington state. As an adult, he began carrying a camera on hikes so

he could show others what he saw, but over time discovered that the patience and

keen observation photography required helped him appreciate nature even more.

A self-taught photographer, his images are used regularly by major calendar

and greeting card lines, and have appeared in a wide range of publications

including National Wildlife, Smithsonian, Lonely Planet Guides, and Outdoor Photographer. He has authored or co-authored four photography books, including

Year of the Eagle, which shows how eagles learn to fly and start families of their

own, and Living Wilderness, a comprehensive compilation of his art images. He

lives near Seattle, Washington, and has photographed more than half of the United

States, as well as Canada, Mexico, Iceland, and New Zealand.

kevin ebi

“I strive to create images that show nature is alive and constantly changing. I’m especially drawn to scenes that, because of fleeting light or dramatic weather, are changing as I photograph them. I also use careful composition and vivid lighting to make more static scenes come alive. While most of my images are captured digitally, my aim is to spend far more time in the wilderness than I do in front of a computer. I use software to make minor adjustments so that my images show what it felt like to be there. If I am unable to capture what I visualized for a location, I keep returning until I do.”

“Photography allows me to share my appreciation of the wonder of our natural spaces. Working for National Geographic inspires me to impact lives by sharing the vast beauty that surrounds us. My vision is to capture the harmony of nature through photographs, and provide the viewer with a sense of awe and respect. I am committed to leaving a lasting impression and instill a deeper awareness of the natural world.”

Stephen Gorman focuses on understanding the connections between

nature and humanity through his work: how we depend on the

ecosystems around us to sustain our material and spiritual lives, how

we modify the landscapes in which we live and work, and how our

ideas of nature shape our relationships with the world around us.

Stephen holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental Studies from Yale

University, where he focused on the human dimensions of natural

resource management; and a Bachelor’s Degree in American Studies

from Wesleyan University, where he focused on American environmental

history and the history of the North American frontier.

Over the last 40 years, Robert Glenn Ketchum’s imagery, writing, exhibitions, numerous books

and personal activism have helped to define photography’s successful use in conservation

advocacy. At the same time, Ketchum’s decades of color work – including textile translations

of his photography – has made for an astonishing, beautiful body of images which are highly

regarded the world over. Ketchum was named by Audubon magazine as one of the hundred

people “who shaped the environmental movement of the 20th century.” American Photo

magazine listed him as one of the one hundred most important people in contemporary

photography in the 1990s, and in 2010, he was only the fifth photographer they selected for

their esteemed American Masters series. Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon, Helmut

Newton, and Annie Leibovitz were the four previously recognized. His recent work prompted

Digital Photo Pro magazine to name Ketchum one of the “new digital masters.”

Ketchum’s undergraduate work was done at UCLA where he studied with Robert Heinecken,

Edmund Teske and Robert Fichter. Ketchum earned one of the first MFA degrees from

California Institute of the Arts, and later received an honorary master’s degree from Brooks

Institute of Photography.

Ketchum was a founding board member of the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies.

For fifteen years he served as the Curator of Photography for the National Park Foundation.

It was in that capacity that he organized an exhibition for which he authored “American Photographers and the National Parks,” a seminal history of conservation photography in

North America.

Ketchum’s photographs can be found in numerous collections, including the Museum of

Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the High

Museum, and the Houston Museum of Fine Art. Large study collections have been established

at the Huntington Library, Museums and Garden, and the Amon Carter Museum.

Tracy Arm, Tracy Arm –Fords Terror Wilderness Tongass National Forest, AK

A unique old-growth, temperate rainforest covering over 1,000 islands and a coastal fiordland, the Tongass was being clearcut in the 1980s, disrupting substantial habitat. After Ketchum sent his book to all members of Congress, The Tongass: Alaska’s Vanishing Rain Forest, President George Bush signed the Tongass Timber Reform Bill into law. Because of these efforts, Ketchum was invited to the White House and was also given the United Nations Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award by the King of Sweden.

Mt. Fairweather and the alsek glacier, 1 a.m. Glacier Bay National Park And Preserve, AK

In the mid-1980s Ketchum traveled down the Tatshenshini River. His photographs and story were published in LIFE magazine as well as a book about the river, resulting in pressure to halt a destructive gold-mining proposal upstream in Canada. Eventually the project was forbidden as World Biosphere status was granted to the river’s corridor. In so doing, three vast wilderness areas, Wrangell-St.Elias – Tatshenshini – Glacier Bay, were linked, creating the largest contiguous wilderness designation expanse on the planet.

Through his photography, Scot Miller

attempts to inspire an appreciation and

understanding of the uniqueness of places

such as Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada,

Walden Pond, the Maine woods, the Texas

Hill Country, and the Great Trinity Forest

in Texas. Eighty-nine of his photographs

illustrate Henry Thoreau’s Walden: 150th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic, published by Houghton

Mifflin in 2004 and sixty-three of his

photographs illustrate Thoreau’s Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic,

published in 2008. In 2011, Houghton Mifflin

Harcourt published John Muir’s My First Summer in the Sierra: 100th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic

featuring seventy-two of Miller’s photographs.

This book received the 2011 Classic Award

from the National Outdoor Book Awards, the

outdoor world’s largest and most prestigious

book award program.

In 2005, Harvard Museum of Natural History

helped launch the multi-year traveling

exhibition “Thoreau’s Walden: A Journey in Photographs by Scot Miller.” Miller has also

been involved in book projects photographing

Yosemite’s backcountry wilderness and

Thoreau’s Maine Woods, which resulted in the

show, “Thoreau’s Maine Woods: A Journey in Photographs with Scot Miller” at the

Harvard Museum of Natural History which

ends just as “Wilderness at 50” opens.

“Every photograph is a journey, an exploration in seeing. I continue to photograph the inspiring beauty and extraordinary power of the world around me. I remain impressed by the wildness of nature.

Most of the past 50 years has been spent exploring and interpreting the American West, with occasional forays into the wild, ancient beauty of America’s East and, in recent years, with numerous journeys into Patagonia, Perú, Antarctica, Africa, New Zealand, Iceland.

Yet, the American landscape remains prime for me, the landscape most thoroughly mine.”

Marc Muench is an internationally renowned

landscape photographer with eleven book

titles to his name, ESPN outdoor shows and

numerous magazine, calendar and poster

titles to his credit. His most recent book is titled Exploring North American Landscapes by

Rocky Nook Publishing.

Marc is a third generation landscape

photographer following in the family tradition

started by his grandfather Josef Muench and

then his father David Muench. His most recent

exhibition was titled “Explorations” at the

Wildling Art Museum in Los Olivos CA.

“Capturing powerful experiences in wild places has been my goal. I find inspiration in looking as far as my eyes can see with no interruption. Places that have remained unbroken by anything hold my attention. I want to show these areas in a way that offer a touch of their wild nature, as well as the freedom they offer. To help convey the scale of the wilderness and its freedoms, I position myself in a unique location at a unique time, where and when all the elements of a great image fall into place as I am surrounded with scenarios of light, subject, location, weather and timing. I find it difficult to waste the opportunity in life and not pursue such occurences.”

Mark Muse earned a BFA in Photography from Ohio University in the early 1970s, then

worked in the publishing and printing industry where, by the late 1970s, he was a very

early adopter of digital images and processes.

His photographs have been exhibited in numerous one and two-person shows in West

Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania and has work in the permanent collection of the

West Virginia State Museum. Muse’s photographs have been published in national

and international publications. Besides being a photographer in his own right, Muse

is also relied upon for his technical expertise in printing for major shows by other

photographers. His work is moving toward alternative printing processes including

platinum/palladium, gravure, and carbon printmaking.

ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST WILDERNESS PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST

These two wilderness areas were designated by Congress in 1984 and added to the Wilderness

Preservation System for preservation and protection of their natural condition.

The Hickory Creek Wilderness has at its heart two creeks, East Hickory Creek and Middle Hickory

Creek. The terrain is gentle to moderate terrain, and covered by heavy forest of northern hard-

woods such as black cherry, oak, beech, birch, and hemlock.

The Allegheny Islands Wilderness contains seven islands stretched between Buckaloons and

Tionesta along the Allegheny Wild and Scenic River. The islands are popular for camping, explora-

tion, and viewing scenery and wildlife. The islands are mostly forested, with riverine trees including

sycamore, silver maple, shagbark hickory, and green ash.
