Award Winning Photographs currently exhibited at Park Library

Award winning photographs by Steve Jessmore are on display through August 14th at Park Library as part of the exhibition Birds Doing Stuff: A Retrospective on the Busy Lives of Michigan Wildlife. 

A CMU alum and former Central Michigan University Photographer, Jessmore has had an incredible career transformation. For nearly four decades, he worked in journalism and as a photographer for colleges and universities across Michigan. When the 2020 COVID-19 shutdown limited opportunities to photograph people in action, he turned his attention to non-human life. The result: within a year, Jessmore’s photographs won top prize and honorable mention in the professional category of the prestigious Audubon Photography Awards.
