 camera to document
the impact of global warming.

Chances are you haven’t heard of Omaha native Gary Braasch. But there’s a good chance you have seen his work.

Braasch, a pioneer in photographing climate change, died this month while working in Australia.

Braasch was among the first to show how the planet is changing, and his work includes the pairing of modern-day images of glaciers with archival images. His use of “repeat photography” — returning time and again to the same spot — helped chart a path for others to photograph the effects of global warming.
