Until recent years, it was not widely known in our
region that Howard Zahniser, the man whose
vision has led to nearly 110 million acres of
wilderness designated on federal public lands, was a
local. Zahniser was not only raised just downriver in
Tionesta, but is in fact laid to rest there, along the banks
of his beloved Allegheny River in Riverside Cemetery.
Recognition of his connection to our area is becoming
more widespread though, thanks to the purposeful work
of Friends of Allegheny Wilderness.
Zahniser’s Wilderness Act is considered to be the most
artfully worded legislation in U.S. statute. Wilderness,
according to the Act, is an area “…where the earth and
its community of life are untrammeled by man, where
man himself is a visitor who does not remain.” The
law provides mechanisms for setting aside significant
tracts of federal land in perpetuity, where low-impact
recreational activities are encouraged, but no resource
extraction or permanent developments are allowed.
Nearly every session of Congress since 1964 has added
to America’s National Wilderness Preservation System.
There are now 758 wilderness areas in 44 states and
Puerto Rico – with more to come. Wilderness areas
are important because they are the only portions of our
country where nature is by law the primary influence;
places where we exercise humility, recognizing that
natural processes will always better steward our
wildlands with the absence of human intervention.
In many ways, this 50th anniversary of the Wilderness
Act exhibition is a very special one for the Crary Art
Gallery. It not only ties this historically significant man
to the area where he spend his boyhood; it reveals the
gravity of his legacy, as seen through the eyes of greatly
talented – even legendary – nature photographers.
Many of these photographers are internationally
renowned. Upon seeing their works, a viewer
immediately comprehends why that is so. One is
transported to a sort of rapturous contemplation and
awe of the wider and wilder world. The photographs
here take us on unforgettable journeys into protected
sanctuaries which are sometimes remote and vast,
other times near and intimate. Through their images,
these photographers’ experiences are brought to us
whole, conveying directly to us these lands where the
term “forever” has a tangible, visceral meaning.
We wish to express our deep gratitude to this
talented group not only for sharing their vision,
but – and this was true for each of them – for so
enthusiastically joining this exhibition and its theme.
They have given us truly superb works to contemplate
and a truly remarkable experience for visitors to
the Crary Art Gallery.

early life
Howard Zahniser was born the son of a Free Methodist minister in northwestern
Pennsylvania in 1906. He developed a deep love for nature in Forest County, budding
in the fifth grade as a member of the Junior Audubon Society. An outdoorsman at heart
and a keen observer of nature’s complexities, later in life chronic health conditions and
his important work on the wilderness legislation often limited him to admire the wild
country from afar, and to ponder its inherent goodness from a philosophical standpoint.
career
Equal to Zahniser’s respect for nature was his affinity for the written word. Trained as a
journalist, Zahniser worked as a book reviewer for Nature Magazine and as an editor
for the U.S. Biological Survey. In 1945, he joined The Wilderness Society, first serving as
executive secretary and editor of the organization’s magazine The Living Wilderness,
and later as the organization’s executive director.
Zahniser came to realize the urgent need for a federal wilderness law during the early
1940s. He knew that unless federal legislation was enacted to permanently safeguard
millions of acres of wild lands under the jurisdictions of federal land management
agencies, conservationists would be destined to fight for protection on a reactionary,
piecemeal basis.
legacy
Although his health was failing, Zahniser wrote 66 drafts of the Wilderness Act between
1956 and 1964 and steered it through 18 hearings. Its passage in 1964 stands in
testament to the dedication and perseverance of this man who deeply felt the worth
of wilderness. The Wilderness Act established the National Wilderness Preservation
System, which now encompasses more than 109 million acres.
Howard Zahniser, a
Tionesta native, became
the legendary leader
of The Wilderness
Society who authored
the original Wilderness
Act of 1964.
Zahniser led The
Wilderness Society
through two decades
of challenges
and landmark
accomplishments.

craig blacklock
Through his extensive photography of Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters
Canoe Area Wilderness, Craig Blacklock has gained an international reputation
for his inspiring landscapes, nudes and technical virtuosity. Photographer/author
of seventeen books, Craig is regularly featured in magazines such as American Photo, Fine Art Photo, Shutterbug and Outdoor Photographer. His original
prints are in museums, private collections, and health care facilities throughout the
U.S. Craig’s background in over 30 years of working in large format shows in his
digital images, with precise, exquisite compositions and hyper-real clarity.
Craig is the son of pioneering color nature photographer,
Les Blacklock. Craig had the opportunity to accompany
his father on photography trips from the time he was
three. By age five, Craig was making his own images
alongside his dad.
After two years as an art major at the University of
Minnesota, Duluth, Craig joined his parents in Blacklock
Nature Photography. Craig’s early career found him
traveling over much of the nation, but in the early 1980s
he decided to dedicate most of the rest of his career
to photographing the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness and Lake Superior. He circumnavigated Lake
Superior in his kayak as part of the making of his award-
winning, best-selling book, The Lake Superior Images. He later photographed his wife, Honey Blacklock for their
award-winning collaborative book, A Voice Within — The Lake Superior Nudes.
Craig has now switched to digital still and video cameras.
This lead to his work with the Center for Spirituality
and Healing, producing nature videos for stress relief
and healing under the titleWellscapes. He has taught
photography workshops since 1982, providing guidance
in capture, editing and printing. He personally makes all of
his own prints in his gallery in Moose Lake, Minnesota. For
current lists of workshops, gallery exhibitions and prices,

Clyde Butcher’s black and white photographs explore his personal relationship with the
environment. For more than fifty years, he has been preserving on film the untouched areas
of the landscape. He has been honored by the state of Florida with the highest award that
can be given a private citizen: the Artist Hall of Fame Award. He was also privileged to receive
the Lifetime Achievement Award from the North American Nature Photography Association
and given the honor of being the Humanitarian of the Year for 2005 from Florida International
University. He has also received the 2007 Distinguished Artist Award from the Florida House
in Washington DC and the Sierra Club has given him the Ansel Adams Conservation Award,
which is given to a photographer who shows excellence in photography and has contributed
to the public awareness of the environment.
Collections of his work can be seen in his books: Portfolio I - Florida Landscapes; 7995
Limited Edition Collection; Visions for the Next Millennium; Nature’s Places of Spiritual
Sanctuary; Florida Landscape; Living Waters - Florida’s Aquatic Preserves; Cuba - The Natural
Beauty; Apalachicola River - An American Treasure; America the Beautiful: The Monumental
Landscape; Big Cypress Swamp - The Western Everglades; Portfolio II - Florida Landscapes
and in his biography, Seeing the Light: Wilderness and Salvation, a Photographer’s Tale.
Public Broadcasting has completed an award-winning documentary on Clyde, Visions of
Florida. A second video, Big Cypress Preserve: Jewel of the Everglades, featuring Clyde,
is also an award-winning program. Clyde was the host in the award-winning nature
documentaries: Living Waters - Aquatic Preserves of Florida, Big Cypress Swamp - The
Western Everglades; Kissimmee Basin - The Northern Everglades, and the featured guest in
the award-winning nature documentary, Apalachicola River -An American Treasure.

Above Sage Creek Wilderness Badlands National Park, SD
Even through the distractions of my high school years in Wall, South Dakota, I knew the Badlands (Mako Sica - Lakota for Land Bad) was a special place.
My friends and I used to drive there to see the sunset, or the moonrise, and to watch herds of buffalo or deer. We also saw occasional Big Horn sheep.

The Source of the Legend of Tatanka and the Cedar Tree Sage Creek Wilderness Area, SD
As I approached Sage Creek early one spring morning, a thick fog prevailed. I knew the bison were nearby; I could see fresh tracks and hear the tearing of grass as they
ate. Then the giants materialized out of the fog. I followed this old bull until the flicking of his tail indicated his irritation with my presence.
“Anyone can love the mountains; it takes soul to love the prairie.” The quote has been attributed to several people, including Teddy Roosevelt, Willa Cather, and an anonymous Nebraska sodbuster. Whoever first said or wrote it, I thank you. It resonate with me. Growing up on a farm/ranch consisting of large swathes of unplowed prairie grasses influenced the way I see, the way I feel, and my approach to my work. Out here, the sun, the sky, and the earth combine to create lights and shadows unavailable elsewhere on the planet. To learn to capture that subtle beauty is a privilege. I approach my work with a painter’s eye.”

Kevin Ebi fell in love with nature early in life; it took many more years for him to
discover his passion for photography. Growing up, Kevin went on many outings
with his parents to Pacific Northwest national parks, particularly Mount Rainier and
Olympic in Washington state. As an adult, he began carrying a camera on hikes so
he could show others what he saw, but over time discovered that the patience and
keen observation photography required helped him appreciate nature even more.
A self-taught photographer, his images are used regularly by major calendar
and greeting card lines, and have appeared in a wide range of publications
including National Wildlife, Smithsonian, Lonely Planet Guides, and Outdoor Photographer. He has authored or co-authored four photography books, including
Year of the Eagle, which shows how eagles learn to fly and start families of their
own, and Living Wilderness, a comprehensive compilation of his art images. He
lives near Seattle, Washington, and has photographed more than half of the United
States, as well as Canada, Mexico, Iceland, and New Zealand.

“I strive to create images that show nature is alive and constantly changing. I’m especially drawn to scenes that, because of fleeting light or dramatic weather, are changing as I photograph them. I also use careful composition and vivid lighting to make more static scenes come alive. While most of my images are captured digitally, my aim is to spend far more time in the wilderness than I do in front of a computer. I use software to make minor adjustments so that my images show what it felt like to be there. If I am unable to capture what I visualized for a location, I keep returning until I do.”

Hikers venturing just a few miles into the Stephen Mather Wilderness, however, will usually have the majestic peak “all to themselves.”

Stephen Gorman focuses on understanding the connections between
nature and humanity through his work: how we depend on the
ecosystems around us to sustain our material and spiritual lives, how
we modify the landscapes in which we live and work, and how our
ideas of nature shape our relationships with the world around us.
Stephen holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental Studies from Yale
University, where he focused on the human dimensions of natural
resource management; and a Bachelor’s Degree in American Studies
from Wesleyan University, where he focused on American environmental
history and the history of the North American frontier.

Over the last 40 years, Robert Glenn Ketchum’s imagery, writing, exhibitions, numerous books
and personal activism have helped to define photography’s successful use in conservation
advocacy. At the same time, Ketchum’s decades of color work – including textile translations
of his photography – has made for an astonishing, beautiful body of images which are highly
regarded the world over. Ketchum was named by Audubon magazine as one of the hundred
people “who shaped the environmental movement of the 20th century.” American Photo
magazine listed him as one of the one hundred most important people in contemporary
photography in the 1990s, and in 2010, he was only the fifth photographer they selected for
their esteemed American Masters series. Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon, Helmut
Newton, and Annie Leibovitz were the four previously recognized. His recent work prompted
Digital Photo Pro magazine to name Ketchum one of the “new digital masters.”
Ketchum’s undergraduate work was done at UCLA where he studied with Robert Heinecken,
Edmund Teske and Robert Fichter. Ketchum earned one of the first MFA degrees from
California Institute of the Arts, and later received an honorary master’s degree from Brooks
Institute of Photography.
Ketchum was a founding board member of the Los Angeles Center for Photographic Studies.
For fifteen years he served as the Curator of Photography for the National Park Foundation.
It was in that capacity that he organized an exhibition for which he authored “American Photographers and the National Parks,” a seminal history of conservation photography in
North America.
Ketchum’s photographs can be found in numerous collections, including the Museum of
Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the High
Museum, and the Houston Museum of Fine Art. Large study collections have been established
at the Huntington Library, Museums and Garden, and the Amon Carter Museum.

Tracy Arm, Tracy Arm –Fords Terror Wilderness Tongass National Forest, AK
A unique old-growth, temperate rainforest covering over 1,000 islands and a coastal fiordland, the Tongass was being clearcut in the 1980s, disrupting substantial habitat. After Ketchum sent his book to all members of Congress, The Tongass: Alaska’s Vanishing Rain Forest, President George Bush signed the Tongass Timber Reform Bill into law. Because of these efforts, Ketchum was invited to the White House and was also given the United Nations Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award by the King of Sweden.

In the mid-1980s Ketchum traveled down the Tatshenshini River. His photographs and story were published in LIFE magazine as well as a book about the river, resulting in pressure to halt a destructive gold-mining proposal upstream in Canada. Eventually the project was forbidden as World Biosphere status was granted to the river’s corridor. In so doing, three vast wilderness areas, Wrangell-St.Elias – Tatshenshini – Glacier Bay, were linked, creating the largest contiguous wilderness designation expanse on the planet.

Through his photography, Scot Miller
attempts to inspire an appreciation and
understanding of the uniqueness of places
such as Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada,
Walden Pond, the Maine woods, the Texas
Hill Country, and the Great Trinity Forest
in Texas. Eighty-nine of his photographs
illustrate Henry Thoreau’s Walden: 150th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic, published by Houghton
Mifflin in 2004 and sixty-three of his
photographs illustrate Thoreau’s Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic,
published in 2008. In 2011, Houghton Mifflin
Harcourt published John Muir’s My First Summer in the Sierra: 100th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic
featuring seventy-two of Miller’s photographs.
This book received the 2011 Classic Award
from the National Outdoor Book Awards, the
outdoor world’s largest and most prestigious
book award program.
In 2005, Harvard Museum of Natural History
helped launch the multi-year traveling
exhibition “Thoreau’s Walden: A Journey in Photographs by Scot Miller.” Miller has also
been involved in book projects photographing
Yosemite’s backcountry wilderness and
Thoreau’s Maine Woods, which resulted in the
show, “Thoreau’s Maine Woods: A Journey in Photographs with Scot Miller” at the
Harvard Museum of Natural History which
ends just as “Wilderness at 50” opens.

“Every photograph is a journey, an exploration in seeing. I continue to photograph the inspiring beauty and extraordinary power of the world around me. I remain impressed by the wildness of nature.
Most of the past 50 years has been spent exploring and interpreting the American West, with occasional forays into the wild, ancient beauty of America’s East and, in recent years, with numerous journeys into Patagonia, Perú, Antarctica, Africa, New Zealand, Iceland.
Yet, the American landscape remains prime for me, the landscape most thoroughly mine.”

Marc Muench is an internationally renowned
landscape photographer with eleven book
titles to his name, ESPN outdoor shows and
numerous magazine, calendar and poster
titles to his credit. His most recent book is titled Exploring North American Landscapes by
Rocky Nook Publishing.
Marc is a third generation landscape
photographer following in the family tradition
started by his grandfather Josef Muench and
then his father David Muench. His most recent
exhibition was titled “Explorations” at the
Wildling Art Museum in Los Olivos CA.
“Capturing powerful experiences in wild places has been my goal. I find inspiration in looking as far as my eyes can see with no interruption. Places that have remained unbroken by anything hold my attention. I want to show these areas in a way that offer a touch of their wild nature, as well as the freedom they offer. To help convey the scale of the wilderness and its freedoms, I position myself in a unique location at a unique time, where and when all the elements of a great image fall into place as I am surrounded with scenarios of light, subject, location, weather and timing. I find it difficult to waste the opportunity in life and not pursue such occurences.”

Mark Muse earned a BFA in Photography from Ohio University in the early 1970s, then
worked in the publishing and printing industry where, by the late 1970s, he was a very
early adopter of digital images and processes.
His photographs have been exhibited in numerous one and two-person shows in West
Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania and has work in the permanent collection of the
West Virginia State Museum. Muse’s photographs have been published in national
and international publications. Besides being a photographer in his own right, Muse
is also relied upon for his technical expertise in printing for major shows by other
photographers. His work is moving toward alternative printing processes including
platinum/palladium, gravure, and carbon printmaking.

Beginning of Time Hickory Creek
ALLEGHENY NATIONAL FOREST WILDERNESS PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST
These two wilderness areas were designated by Congress in 1984 and added to the Wilderness
Preservation System for preservation and protection of their natural condition.
The Hickory Creek Wilderness has at its heart two creeks, East Hickory Creek and Middle Hickory
Creek. The terrain is gentle to moderate terrain, and covered by heavy forest of northern hard-
woods such as black cherry, oak, beech, birch, and hemlock.
The Allegheny Islands Wilderness contains seven islands stretched between Buckaloons and
Tionesta along the Allegheny Wild and Scenic River. The islands are popular for camping, explora-
tion, and viewing scenery and wildlife. The islands are mostly forested, with riverine trees including
sycamore, silver maple, shagbark hickory, and green ash.
