"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.

Riverside Geyser

Riverside Geyser in Yellowstone shoots steam and water to heights of 75 feet in an arch over the river, sometimes causing brilliant rainbows. The eruptions occur every 5 1/2 to 7 hours and last for some 20 minutes. Riverside is one of the most predictable geysers in the park, because it is not located near any other geysers that may disrupt the flow of underground water in the geyser's plumbing.
---Greg Embree, curator

"This view shows Riverside Geyser from the trail toward Morning Glory Pool. It is easy to forget the scale of what you are looking at, until you see people in the frame. For me, this shot evokes the iconic black-and-white photos from the earliest days of Yellowstone."
---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.
