Among the Adirondack photographers’ work currently on display at View’s latest exhibit, “Adirondack View Finders,” are the photographs of the nationally-recognized Nancie Battaglia.
Battaglia, of Lake Placid, has been documenting Adirondack lifestyle, scenes, themes, and sporting activities for over 25 years.
Her stock and assignment photography has seen credit in innumerable editorial publications including Sports Illustrated, Ski, Newsweek, Boys Life, Outside, National Geographic Adventure, Canadian Geographic Traveler, Adirondack Life, the New York Times, and USA Today.
Her work has also been featured in books, calendars, and promotional material for the I Love NY campaign.
Battaglia’s “View Finders” collection includes images that reflect nature’s beauty, human energy, rustic charm, life in the mountains and the hardy folks who live there.
One of her photographs has been of particular interest to the many area residents and visitors who participated in the One Square Mile of Hope event held on September 24 in Inlet.
The photo depicts an aerial view of the 1,925 canoes and kayaks that gathered to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the world’s largest floating raft, as a fundraising effort for Susan G. Komen for the Cure for breast cancer.
Battaglia’s two-page photo was featured in the October 3 issue of Sports Illustrated.
The photograph will be raffled to benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and View at the close of the exhibit on March 3, 2012.
Tickets are $10 each or 3 for $20 and can be purchased in person at View or by calling (315) 369-6411.
Other Adirondack photographers featured at the exhibit are Nathan Farb, Mark Bowie, and Carl Heilman.
Running in tandem with “Adirondack View Finders” is an exhibit of the work of some newer voices in Adirondack photography, Johnathan A. Esper, Lesley Dixion, and Old Forge’s Clark Lubbs.
Stone sculptor Matt Horner’s work is also on display, as is “Teachers Turn”, an exhibit by instructors at the Adirondack Photography Institute.
Admission to the exhibit is $10/$5 members and groups of 6 or more. Children under the age of 12 are admitted free.
