Student Spotlight: JP P. '27
This past summer, Joseph P. '27 (JP) was the youngest participant in a Wild Images tour, resulting in beautiful wildlife photographs captured in Nome and Utqiagvík, Alaska. Below is an excerpts from Wild Images' interview with JP this August.
What drew you to visit Alaska?
The constant buzz of birders on the Internet about Alaska and their photos of King Eiders, Snowy Owls, Musk Ox, and other Arctic wildlife. Another big reason I wanted to visit Alaska was because of how different it was from my home in Washington DC.
What were your first impressions of Alaska for photography?
Brilliant. Even flying into Anchorage, I could see how very easy it would be to incorporate the land’s stunning surroundings into each and every photograph. There were endless opportunities to photograph due to the 24-hour daylight above the Arctic Circle.
