Five photographers from the Platte Basin Timelapse (PBT) project will be featured
Dakota Altman, Ethan Freese, Mariah Lundgren, Carlee Moates, and Grant Reiner.
Each with deep roots in Nebraska and the Great Plains, they will share images reflecting years spent exploring the rivers, prairies, wetlands, wildlife, and communities of the Platte Basin. Accompanied by the artists’ personal commentary, every image offers a passage into their connections to a moment and place in time.
“Our goal as conservation storytellers is to inspire care for our land and water and connect our neighbors up and downstream through the power of story,” the PBT producers note. Remarkable beauty, diversity, and resilience is revealed through images of alpine trout streams, braided prairie rivers, networks of dams and reservoirs, sweeping grasslands, vibrant wetlands, working ranches and farms. An incredible array of plants, wildlife, and people are intertwined over 90,000 square miles. PBT’s work supports habitat conservation and bridges the gap between scientists and the public, underscoring the vital need to protect and restore habitats across the Platte Basin and beyond.
The Platte Basin Timelapse (PBT) project was founded in 2011 by conservation photographer Michael Forsberg and veteran Nebraska Public Media producer Michael Farrell to use timelapse photography to set a watershed in motion and to answer the question:Where does our water come from? 
Still and moving images taken with cameras on the ground and aerial images captured from planes and drones have been woven into important stories delivered in person, online, and through traditional and social media.
Work is available for viewing and purchase Friday through Sunday, August 7 – 30 from noon to 5 p.m. More details about the artists and their works are on Facebook and Instagram and plattebasintimelapse.com
The exhibit is supported by The Nebraska Arts Council, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Contributors to WallSpace for Artists and Audiences and Give to Lincoln Day provide additional funding for the gallery.
