Base Camp Stories - Photographing and Exploring Scenic Newfoundland

Meeting Rooms A, B, C, and D. Jan Bell reflects on his extended periods spent in the wilderness of North America, exploring how this deep immersion in the natural world shapes his work and artistic voice. This presentation will feature recent photographs from Bell’s 75-day trek across Newfoundland, a land of rugged coastlines, towering icebergs, whales, and puffins. Through these images, he captures not only the island’s striking beauty, but also its profound sense of solitude and remoteness. Join Wood County Parks and Way Public Library this winter as we invite local outdoorsmen and women to share stories of their adventures and provide information on their planning, background, gear, and experience to inspire us for our own next outdoor adventures!
