DOUBLEXPOSURE Photographers Exhibit Impacts of Climate Change

Photographers have long held a useful key to effecting change.

Think of Ansel Adams and his influence on early 20th Century government leaders in the United States; he helped demonstrate the value of nature and the need for national parks.
