"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.

The Roar
Half the geothermal features and two-thirds of the world's geysers are concentrated in Yellowstone. A study published in 2011 found that at least 1,283 geysers have erupted in the park. Of these an average of 465 are active in a given year.
---Greg Embree, curator
"The stark contrast of the undisturbed blanket of snow and the evanescent, ever-changing drifts of steam from the thermal features of Yellowstone are always fascinating to me. This was taken on the ski trail between the Old Faithful Snow Lodge and the Lone Star Geyser trail."
---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.
