Three Shenandoah Valley photographers\/professors are teaming up to present a show of their work at Blandy Experimental Farm, home of the State Arboretum of Virginia. <\/p>\n

\u201cLeaf. Flower. Spiral. The Flow of Energy in the Natural World\u201d opened Sunday, Feb. 13 with a reception from 3-5 p.m.<\/p>\n

Steven David Johnson<\/a>, Scott Jost, and Howard Zehr<\/a> are all experienced photographers with an interest in the natural world. Johnson and Zehr are professors at Eastern Mennonite University, while Jost, a former EMU prof, now teaches photography and design at Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Va.<\/p>\n

Portfolios focus on nature’s beauty<\/h3>\n

Johnson\u2019s work focuses on whirlpools, natural spirals that form abstract patterns in the images he shot on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. <\/p>\n

Jost\u2019s portfolio of photos, called \u201cUn\/Cultivated,\u201d uses very shallow depth of field to create lush, colorful images of emerging spring plants that evoke feelings of renewal and growth. <\/p>\n

Zehr\u2019s \u201cLeaf Portraits\u201d capture the personalities, textures, and individualities of leaves using portrait lighting in a studio setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than seek \u2018perfect\u2019 specimens at the peak of their development, I watched for leaves with personality, leaves that showed signs of having lived and were now moving toward \u2018death,\u2019\u201d Zehr explained. Many of the leaves came from his own yard.<\/p>\n

Zehr\u2019s photography has been included in a variety of publications and exhibits, including four books published by Good Books. Jost is a contributing photographer to \u201cThe Great Valley Road of Virginia: Shenandoah Landscapes from Prehistory to the Present.\u201d Johnson is a featured artist in Ruminate Magazine and Rock and Sling, and his work has also been published in Orion, Shots, Blue Ridge Country, and National Geographic Traveler.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is on display from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in the dining room and will hang through March 27. All works are for sale, and range in price from $175 to $225. Small prints and cards are also available.<\/p>\n
