PHOTOGRAPHING CLIMATE CHANGE THE STORY  Global warming is affecting our planet in countless ways, not in some remote future, but today. DOUBLEXPOSURE documents one aspect of the warming climate through fine-art photography that brings the viewer into panoramas of glaciers once grand but now receding. The compelling comparisons put into stark view the fact of melting glaciers. THE PROJECT DOUBLEXPOSURE has an exhibition of paired photographs and educational panels to be presented at museums and galleries across the United States. In addition, David Arnold is available for speaking engagements that use photographs to present the Double Exposure theme: alarm, educate, and ultimately inspire. 
"Bravo, an environmental tour de force. With the blink of a lens, David Arnold captures a time warp that says it all - global warming is real!"AUDIENCES This presentation will appeal to audience members of all ages, be they science aficionados, art patrons, or curious and concerned citizens of a changing planet. DOUBLEXPOSURE is the first to tell the story of melting ice using striking, high resolution photographs as benchmarks. EXHIBIT PRESENTATION Fourteen framed black and white photographs, each 26x30 inches and printed from large format negatives as well as a twinned, 12-foot long panorama. A text panel accompanies each pair, and two additional panels introduce the exhibit and explain some of the logistical challenges of re-creating artwork in most cases recorded seven decades ago. There is also a short video loop of the last recorded interview with Dr. Washburn. Size: approximately 165 linear feet (all components). Pairings can be edited to fit.(Design by Lyons/Zaremba Inc. of Boston.) Security Requirements: minimal Schedule: 6 - 12 week bookings available.
