April 2026

Issue 07

Wild Eye Issue 07 reflects on the power of photography to shape how we see — and ultimately care for — the Earth, inspired by the spirit of Earth Day. Katie Orlinsky documents the enduring migration of Arctic caribou, while Jon McCormack invites us to find quiet clarity in nature’s patterns, using art as a pathway to advocacy. Matt Payne examines the intersection of technology and environmental responsibility, and Tui de Roy reveals the fragile beauty of endangered sea turtles. Together, these perspectives remind us that photography does more than capture what is — it shapes what we choose to protect next.

Caribou just outside the Nunamiut Indigenous community. Community members say that over the last decade, the caribou have only come through in the spring and can no longer be found returning in the fall like they once did. The Western Arctic Herd was once the biggest caribou herd in the world, but now their status is critical. Since 2003, the herd has gone from 500,000 animals to fewer than 150,000, with a quarter of the losses happening in just the past three years.

Upon my first visit to Ice Lake, I was inspired to capture the lake under moonlight, surrounded by stars and wildflowers. What the image can’t show is the eroded and illegal campsites that now ring the basin, one of the most documented cases of geotag-driven overuse in Colorado.
