Title: A Geologist's Life – Part III: The Photography of Dr. William W.
Shilts

Date: October 2nd-October 8th

Opening Reception: Friday, October 4th, 6pm



Bill Shilts, a native of Hudson, Ohio, and graduate of DePauw, Miami (Ohio)
and Syracuse Universities, worked as a research Geologist at the Geological
Survey of Canada from his student days in the mid-sixties until arriving in
Champaign in 1995. Dr. Shilts served as the Chief of the Illinois State
Geological Survey from 1995-2008 and now is the Executive Director of the
University of Illinois Prairie Research Institute, which houses the five
State Scientific Surveys. During his career, he took thousands of
photographs of geological subjects and simply of scenery, landscapes and
people from his world, especially the Appalachian Mountains of southern
Quebec, the Canadian Tundra, and the glaciers of the high Canadian Arctic.
Although many of the photographs are taken from ground level, many are from
low altitude flights in helicopters, which Dr. Shilts used for field
transportation.



Working with photographer Joel Dexter, Dr. Shilts is digitizing his photo
collection, and Joel selected approximately 150 images from the collection
for three Indi Go Artist Co-op shows. This is the third in the series. The
first two were held in April.



Please join us for an opening reception on Friday, October 4th at 6 p.m.
Dr. Shilts will give brief remarks on his photography.
