“Earth Through a Lens” a national photographic competition and exhibition was established by the Sustainability Commission of the City of Palm Springs to address a Commission mandate: to enhance public education regarding development of a sustainable society. A side goal of this project is to encourage photographers, both amateur and professional, to document how human activity impacts the earth. “Earth Through a Lens” is a key piece of the Palm Springs’ Earth Day celebration and commitment to make Palm Springs a sustainable city. By holding the exhibit on Palm Canyon Drive, the heart of the City’s business district, we seek to make this show truly a public event that is accessible 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
The exhibit presents roughly 10% of the 300 plus entries that were received through a nation-wide contest. This exhibit portrays aspects of the natural environment with emphasis placed on deserts, mountains, and, perhaps, our most precious and limited resource, water. In juxtaposition with such images, we also present photos of environmental degradation as well as attempts to remediate past damage. We hope you enjoy our inaugural exhibit and we urge you to consider actions you can take to maintain the environment for future generations.
