<\/a>Photographers have long held a useful key to effecting change.<\/p>\n Think of Ansel Adams<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n Think of the Farm Security Administration photography<\/a> effort of the 1930s, led by Roy Stryker<\/a> (photographers included: Dorothea Lange<\/a>, Walker Evans<\/a>, Gordon Parks<\/a>).<\/p>\n Now, think of <\/span>DOUBLEXPOSURE<\/a>, and the work of two photographers<\/a> who are pairing work that “brings the viewer into panoramas of glaciers once grand but now receding. The compelling comparisons put into stark view the fact of melting glaciers.” <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The photographers are of two generations:<\/p>\n Brad Washburn<\/strong> (1910 – 2007), represented by Panopticon, was a photographer, alpinist, cartographer, adventurer and president of Boston’s Museum of Science from 1938 until 1980.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n David Arnold<\/strong> is a freelance photographer and journalist who was a staff reporter at the Boston Globe for 25 years.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Arnold has returned to the aerial heights from which Washburn first photographed glacial sites around the world. The photo pairs are viewable<\/a> at the DOUBLEXPOSURE Web site, side by side, dated to show the decades-long spans of time that passed between the photographers’ captures.<\/p>\n
