The Vermilion County Conservation District is showcasing a collection of work by local photographer Jared Lowe at the Kennekuk Education Center, Kennekuk County Park.
An opening reception with his photography will be held on Sunday, April 21, from 1-4 p.m.
Jared Lowe became fascinated with photography when he discovered Mathew Brady’s photos of the Civil War. Being an outdoor person, Jared was also drawn to National Geographic-themed photos.
Inspired by his love of wildlife and the natural landscape, and with encouragement from his grandmother, Jared began his photography journey in 2019. Using a Nikon DX3200 and his Android phone, Jared specializes in landscape, wildlife, and weather photography.
Nostalgic scenes of old barns and buildings, basketball hoops, and abandoned places are also evident in Jared’s collection. His goal is to showcase natural beauty with the hope that our busy society will stop to remember the simple things.
Lowe’s work will remain at the park Education Center for viewing by appointment for the next several months.
