An Evening with Botanical Photographer Jimmy Fike
The Desert Foothills Land Trust is proud to announce a special presentation event featuring acclaimed botanical photographer Jimmy Fike on Saturday, October 12, at 6:30 pm at the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion in Carefree, Arizona.
Fike's groundbreaking work, "Edible Plants," is a visual feast that showcases over a decade of travel across the continental United States, capturing the beauty and utility of North America's wild edible flora. His unique photography style blurs the lines between art and science, offering a fresh perspective on our natural environment.
Using a distinctive technique of selective colorization, Fike highlights the edible portions of each plant, creating images that are both informative and visually striking. Los Angeles Times' Liesl Bradner describes the results as "haunting [and] eerily beautiful," reminiscent of early photographic techniques while remaining thoroughly contemporary.
This presentation goes beyond mere aesthetics. Fike's place-based approach to landscape photography emphasizes humanity's intricate relationship with the natural world, unveiling often-overlooked food sources and promoting environmental stewardship.
This isn't just a presentation; it's an awakening. Fike's work invites you to rediscover your relationship with nature, unveiling secret food sources hidden in plain sight. "Edible Plants" serves as a powerful reminder of the bounty that surrounds us and the importance of preserving our natural habitats. This event offers a rare opportunity to explore the intersection of art, science, and conservation with one of today's most innovative botanical photographers.
Elevate your experience with gourmet food from local favorite Speedy Burger, available for purchase at the event. After the talk, take home a piece of this botanical adventure. Jimmy Fike will be signing and selling copies of his stunning book, allowing you to continue your exploration of edible plants long after the evening ends.
