Excerpt from the BOSTON GLOBE (2007):
Harvard scientist Edward O. Wilson has called Dorothy Kerper Monnelly "the Ansel Adams of the wetlands."
For more than 30 years, Monnelly has focused on the Great Marsh, a unique ecosystem near her home in Ipswich, MA. Stretching 70 miles from Cape Ann to New Hampshire, it is one of the most pristine salt marshes in North America.
Monnelly shoots in black-and-white using a wide-format camera, a modern version of the one Adams used. Now her photographs have been collected in the book The Great Marsh: Between Land and Sea.
