"Yellowstone" at Westover Library, Arlington, Virginia, August 15 - September 30, 2017
Curated by Greg Embree, this was DJ Choupin's first curated show, which transferred to the Westover Library after 3 months on exhibit at the Cherrydale Library. The website cherrydalelibrary.org said "Cherrydale Library's current photo exhibit includes some spectacular wintertime photographs of sections of Yellowstone National Park accessible only by snowmobile." Mr. Embree also made art-quality prints of the included photos, which he matted and framed. His captions for this curated show add interest and context to the photos.

Hayden Valley
This part of Yellowstone was named after naturalist Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden (1829--1887), an American geologist who convinced Congress to make Yellowstone a National Park in 1872.
While once there was a lake here, Hayden Valley is now a wildlife paradise and the location of the largest herd of free roaming bison in the world.
---Greg Embree, curator
"I just love the tranquility of this scene, which probably hasn't changed in centuries."
---DJ Choupin
Note: Artists contribute 20% of sales made during their exhibit to the Friends of the Arlington County Library, to help support Library programming.
