Scenes of Western Pennsylvania: The Photography of Donald M. Robinson features 67 stunning photographs depicting the pristine western Pennsylvania landscape during each season of the year. It will be his third photography exhibit at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. His most recent exhibit, Pole to Pole, was in 1998.
Robinson is well known for his photographs of people, landscapes, and animal life. He has traveled internationally, documenting the essence of exotic locales from Arctic glaciers to African deserts to more domestic places such as Florida marshlands and Pennsylvania woodlands.
Robinson's
interest in photography was spurred at an early age. A trip to Mexico in
1950 was the first time he considered photography as a profession. This
adventure was the catalyst of a global odyssey where he recorded his journey
on film. In the 1970s, he visited South America, Europe and Morocco. In
the 1980s, he traveled to Australia and Asia. In 1992 and 1993, he traveled
to Africa to photograph the wildlife and people of Kenya and Tanzania. His
photographic expeditions included North America, Antarctica and the Arctic
in the mid to late 1990s. (left: Donald M. Robinson, Leaf Magic)
