2025 Member Photo Exhibit

View the exhibit's images in two collections, Gallery A and Gallery B on SmugMug. (Two collections are needed due to the large number of images.) You can experience each gallery as a self-running slideshow or view each image individually, with full descriptions and photographer name.

The climate crisis is upon us, and we're all paying a high price. It's real, it's now, it's news, and it's visual.

Changes in the climate from 200+ years of burning fossil fuels are causing extreme weather events, rising sea levels, melting icebergs, retreating glaciers, droughts, and wildfires in many regions that rarely experienced them before. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change confirmed in 2023 that human activity is the main cause of climate change, with a 99 percent consensus of peer-reviewed scientific research two years earlier. Plus, many of the daily headlines we report on immigration, the economy, and national security can be traced back to a degraded climate.

This year, the annual National Press Club photography exhibit is making the climate crisis its theme. We're featuring digital images and print photos from members about the climate crisis throughout the collection and in the slideshow below, showing the destructive effects of a changing climate. But they also display efforts to counter emissions of greenhouse gases, and citizen campaigns to keep the issue front and center.

Many thanks to the 37 members providing 106 digital images and print photos depicting the climate crisis. Select from the links below to watch a self-running slideshow of these images or view them one at a time, with full descriptions and photographers’ names.

The catalog can be viewed on most any device: laptop, desktop, big-screen monitor, tablet, or smartphone. While the exhibit can be viewed on a phone, most images display better on a horizontal screen. If using a phone, tilt the screen for a horizontal display.

All of the photographer's images in the catalog are displayed on the SmugMug photography web site to enable better viewing on all devices, courtesy of Technology News and Literature. In SmugMug, each photographer has their own gallery. Once in a photographer's gallery, click on an image to see the image in full size. You can also scroll through each image separately in a gallery to read the full descriptions.
