Jean Pearce ’76 (GAP) exhibited her photographs, “Jeannie Pearce: Bird Digiscopes,” as part of the Art & Exhibitions display at the Philadelphia Airport from September 2010 to March 2011. Pearce likens her profession as a photographer with her interest in bird watching and her compulsion for collecting. In 2005, Pearce’s passion for photography, collecting and bird watching culminated with her series of bird portraits photographed through a spotting scope or telescope. Known as digiscopes, the resulting photographs have a spyglass effect because the images are captured within a circular format. www.jeanniepearce.com
