Sam Abbell

Ongoing at the JSMA @ UO: Amazonia, which features 50+ full-color photographs and commentary by National Geographic photographer Sam Abell, and additional photos and text by the Danish wildlife photographer Torben Ulrik Nissen. "This traveling exhibition, organized by Museum executive director Jill Hartz, documents one of the Earth's remaining natural ecosystems - the headwaters of the Amazon River in Peru. Over a series of years, beginning in 2003, noted National Geographic photographer Sam Abell traveled along the Amazon taking photographs of its wild beauty. The resulting images by Abell and his colleague, Torben Nissen, a noted wildlife photographer and experienced guide, provide rare insight into a remote and untouched landscape and the creatures that inhabit its dangerous rainforest and waters."
