Profile: Patricia D. Moehlman - Into the Wilds of Africa

摘要

Even on the soft, cream-colored carpet of her sparsely decorated house in Connecticut, Patricia D. Moehlman camps out. She takes off her running shoes, sits cross-legged on the floor and hunches over the small, white board on which she is projecting slides in the bright light of a fall afternoon. As she wends her way pictorially through decades of research on the social lives of jackals, work on the plight of wild asses in the war-torn Horn of Africa and her educational projects in Tanzania, Moehlman's joy about being out in the field is palpable. She seems to delight in every face—canine, equid or human—and in every landscape she has photographed.
