SUMMARY:Big Cypress Dark Sky Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Big Cypress National Preserve invites you to join us this Saturday\, April 18\, at 1:00 pm in the Nathanial P. Reed Visitor Center auditorium for a special artist lecture and photography exhibit. The exhibit will remain throughout the summer. __ \nThe Vanishing Dark: An Artist’s Case for Preserving and Embracing Dark Sky Advocacy \nDark Sky Scholar and fine-art photographer Matt Stock will present an exploration of the “parallel universe” of the night. Matt will share the meticulous technical process—and the deep philosophical mission—behind his hyper-real night photography. This talk examines why darkness is a natural resource as vital as the water in the swamp\, and how we can use light to protect\, rather than obscure\, the beauty of Big Cypress National Preserve.
