Although Southeast High School offers a photo course, Gabby a sophomore,
has learned her skills from her father, a professional photographer; by
attending seminars and workshops with outstanding nature photographers
like George Lepp and Rod Planck; and through her own efforts.
She plans to major in environmental studies in college—she hopes
to attend Duke University—and will use photography in connection
with her studies and her concern with environmental protection and preservation.
In 2001 she was one of 10 students chosen nationally for a North American
Nature Photographers Association foundation scholarship, and in January,
2002, attended a week-long photography workshop at the NANPA Summit in
Jacksonville, Florida.

“Right now I’m working with NANPA’s environment committee,”
Gabby says. “We’re trying to put together a program to educate
people about the environment, and we hope to use photographs by the members
and by students in a slide show that we hope will travel the country and
be shown to high school students.”
