Now showing: Photos at Gehman Gallery capture the fleeting beauty of nature

A new photography exhibition at the Margaret Martin Gehman Gallery (University Commons 179) from Macson McGuigan ’17, visual media manager for EMU marketing & communications, reveals nature at its most awe-inspiring.

From crystal-clear shots of the Milky Way above the Andes in Peru and the surreal pink-and-green glow of the Aurora Borealis at Shenandoah National Park, to a humpback whale breaching the surface of Monterey Bay and a hummingbird frozen mid-flight, the collection of photos in Fleeting offers a glimpse into the EMU grad’s adventures around the world.

“I hope that when you look at these photos, you get to feel the same excitement that I felt to be in those places and experience those moments,” said McGuigan, who graduated from the Visual And Communication Arts program with a BA in digital media and environmental sustainability. “I think it’s natural for all of us to want to capture those fleeting, beautiful moments in our lives, and I hope that’s what I’ve done here.”

The exhibition, which opened on Sept. 12, will remain on display until Oct. 3. The gallery is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Sunday.
