Staten Island, N.Y. – Tangible Nature, a virtual exhibit of photographs by Dean Moses, is available for viewing on Gateway’s website at www.nps.gov/gate. This exhibit explores the relationship and rapport humans can have with nature. “More than a walk on the trail or a rest beside the water; nature is tangible, we can not only touch it, but we in turn can be touched by it. The photos were taken during I Love my Park Day, in May 2019 and show people exploring nature and outdoor recreation; and doing some hard labor in performing a clean-up.” Dean MosesA more traditional exhibit will be shown at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center once it has reopened to the public.
Moses is an author, award-winning photographer, and freelance journalist. His photography has appeared in numerous New York - based newspapers, including AM New York, Queens Courier, and Canarsie Courier. His photographs explore the relationship and rapport humans can have with nature.
Originally from the United Kingdom, Moses now considers himself a proud New Yorker. He lives in NYC with his wife and four cats.
