National Geographic Photo Presentation Students present images of Bar Harbor Gates Community Center
See Bar Harbor through the eyes of 15 well-trained students when College of the Atlantic's Gates Community Center hosts a presentation of National Geographic-trained students on Monday, July 6 at 7 p.m.
The students have come to Bar Harbor from across the United States as part of National Geographic's Summer Expeditions program. This program, based at COA, introduces high schoolers to the eye and voice and concerns of photojournalism. The 15 students will be documenting the spirit and community of Bar Harbor though 10 days of reporting and photography.
Among the faculty members in the program is Amy Toensing, a 1993 COA graduate who has worked throughout the world, producing stories that, she says, "reflect the lives of ordinary people." She is a frequent contributor to National Geographic Magazine, including a March 2003 article on the cultural heritage of Puerto Rico and a November 2007 piece on the kingdom of Tonga. Her story on Monhegan Island was featured in the July 2001 issue.
For more information on the 7 p.m. Monday July 6 talk in College of the Atlantic's Gates Center call 288-5015.
