The main medium of communication used by the Center for Humans and Nature in its philosophical and ethics research, its education, its policy analysis, and its collaborative programs of civic action is language. Discourse, dialogue, debate, deliberation, reflection, persuasion. Words. Words. Words.
And yet the natural imagination, the sensibility for natural beauty and integrity, and the sense of responsibility for our natural and cultural landscapes that the Center for Humans and Nature strives to foster are not limited to language alone. Other media contribute to and express that imagination as well.
For this reason, to the many words on this website, we have decided to add access to photography that we believe is conducive to our mission. Below you will find links to other locations where visual images suggestive of the relations of human and nature can be studied. We begin here with one such link, to the work of Terry Evans, but plan to add other links as time goes by.

Terry Evans is a photographer whose work has been primarily an inquiry into the nature of prairie from its native state to its use, abandonment, and care. Her intention has been to tell the prairie's stories, past and present, through visible facts and layers of time and memory on the landscape. Her recent work entitled 'Revealing Chicago: An Aerial Portrait' explored the complexities of the urban prairie as she photographed Chicago and the surrounding region from the air.
