I believe that the
camera, when put in the hands of well-educated, well-informed, concerned
photographers provides us with images of unprecedented power and indisputable
credibility about the world in which we live --- its beauty and its troubles. I
aspire to be that kind of photographer.
These are the words photographer Cristina Mittermeier opens
up her photography page with. Mittermeier is a Mexican biologist who has spent
the past twenty years as a journalist and photographer. Her work concentrates
on conservation issues as she spends countless time traveling the world
capturing the fragile relationship between humans and nature. I admire her
desire to use her art to visually communicate with the world. She exposes the
light and the dark of human nature, the ignorance, greed, and corruption along
with the beauty, wonder and magic.
