A Photographer’s Journey with
Whooping Cranes
featuring the work of
Michael Forsberg
 January 9 – Feb 1 Fridays – Sundays, noon to 5pm. A public reception will be from 5-8 p.m Friday, January 16. The show is one product of photographer and Lincoln native Mike Forsberg’s five-year effort to intimately document this mythical, tallest bird in North America. A companion to the recent self-published book “Into Whooperland” the exhibitincludes large prints, most of them never printed before. Forsberg will be on hand for a public reception Friday, January 16 from 5-8 p.m.  Much more than a book on the wall, the display lets viewers follow the whoopers’ and Forsberg’s journey through a unique 360 goggle viewing experience flying the “Whooper Highway.” Map spreads, timelapse grids and tiled panels, remote cameras, a blind setup Mike used for fieldwork, and aerial imagery of the 2,500 mile migratory path from pilot and fellow photographer Chris Boyer presented on a large flatscreen create an immersive experience. Forsberg notes, “I’m glad to present this exhibit first at WallSpace-LNK. We look forward to seeing you. Long live cranes.”  Limited numbers of signed copies of “Into Whooperland,” the book created in a small journal style, are available for sale. The title has nearly sold out of its first print run. Individual photographic prints will be for sale upon request.
