Kari Post Photography : Photography by Kari Post

Photography is both art and a tool. It has the ability to inspire and educate, to communicate in ways that transcend the limitations of language, age, race, or class. Photographs can show people the world around them through new eyes, creating an awareness of our social and physical environment and fostering a connection with nature. It is through photography that we can teach others about environmental issues, social injustices, and the incredible, diverse beauty of our planet; this is a tool that can help to develop responsible and informed world citizens who act as stewards for nature and humanity. My goal is not to simply create stunning photographs, but to give them a voice and a purpose, to make them work towards a better planet, and to make sure the stories they tell are heard.

February 4, 2012: Another NANPA Appointment

It is with great pleasure that I announce that I have just become the newest member of the North American Nature Photography Association's College Scholarship Committee. As a scholarship program receipient in 2011, I'm incredible excited to be a part of this wonderful legacy and am looking forward to putting together a wonderful experience for the 2013 NANPA College Students. The NANPA College Program was an inspiration to me (you can read about it in my article "Seeking the Sun") and I hope to provide a similarly engaging experience for others. In addition to my new role on the College Committee, I also serve NANPA as an Ambassador for the New England Region.

I've added the Landscapes section to my stock gallery, so now you can check out my scenic photographs from Ontario, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. I'm stil in the process of keywording and captioning some of the galleries and have some more images to add to them, so please ignore any housekeeping issues you may come across in the New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming galleries. I'll have those fixed and add galleries for Colorado, Texas, and Vermont soon!
