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.
