Questo punto che per anni era stato la sezione pi\u00f9 fertile di fiori selvatici, di solito pieno di un misto di teste di elefante, pennelli indiani scarlatti e sulfurei, margherite dalle foglie pennate e senecio dalle foglie di freccia, ora era solo un campo di ghiaia con qualche germoglio di verde lottando per sfondare. La mia mente correva cercando di capire cosa fosse successo. Poi lentamente mi sono reso conto. Questa zona a sei miglia dall&#039;inizio del sentiero era stata calpestata da troppi piedi. Ma perch\u00e9 erano stati in quella localit\u00e0 remota? Come facevano a saperlo? Poi mi \u00e8 venuto in mente, facendomi sentire quasi male: avevo pubblicato numerose foto di questa zona, condiviso la posizione online e poi detto a tutti quelli che chiedevano dove si potesse trovare questa zona. I fiori erano spariti per colpa mia. Inconsapevolmente avevo contribuito a distruggere uno dei pi\u00f9 bei campi di fiori che si trovassero nel Rocky Mountain National Park.<\/p><h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">DANNI IN TUTTO IL MONDO<\/h3><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Negli anni successivi ho iniziato a sentire numerose storie di luoghi gravemente danneggiati da fotografi che cercavano di ottenere uno scatto particolare o da molti visitatori che venivano a causa delle foto dei fotografi. Un paio di viaggi in Islanda mi hanno mostrato che questo non era limitato agli Stati Uniti, ma stava diventando un fenomeno mondiale. Le visite ad alcuni dei luoghi pi\u00f9 belli e delicati del mondo erano cresciute a un ritmo ben superiore a quello che queste aree potevano sopportare. Le persone vedevano luoghi meravigliosi online e si affollavano da loro per ottenere le proprie foto. Queste gemme nascoste venivano danneggiate o distrutte subito dopo essere state esposte pubblicamente. Allo stesso tempo, i fotografi andavano a estremi sempre pi\u00f9 estremi per ottenere nuove immagini di luoghi selvaggi, strappando muschio lussureggiante da pendii e tronchi nel loro cammino verso la base delle cascate, frantumando antiche pinne di arenaria e delicati terreni criptobiotici nei deserti, saltare recinzioni su propriet\u00e0 private, accendere lana d&#039;acciaio e fuochi d&#039;artificio, lasciare spazzatura, disturbare la fauna selvatica e l&#039;elenco potrebbe continuare. Ho iniziato a chiedermi se noi fotografi potessimo distruggere proprio ci\u00f2 che stavamo celebrando con la nostra fotografia, il nostro spettacolare mondo naturale.<\/p><h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">PROCESSO DI INDIRIZZO<\/h3><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ho iniziato a parlarne con altri fotografi naturalisti professionisti per avere la loro opinione e la maggior parte di loro con cui ho parlato aveva le proprie storie ed era molto preoccupata. Eppure nessuno era del tutto sicuro di cosa si potesse fare al riguardo. Cos\u00ec nel 2016 mi \u00e8 venuta in mente una proposta che ho fatto circolare alla ricerca di feedback. Attraverso questo processo \u00e8 diventato lentamente chiaro che ci\u00f2 che serviva era una serie di principi che mettessero in evidenza le migliori pratiche quando si fotografa il mondo naturale. Cos\u00ec ho organizzato un incontro con un certo numero di noti fotografi naturalisti e ci siamo riuniti a Ridgway, in Colorado, nella primavera del 2018. Durante il nostro incontro abbiamo sviluppato una serie di 7 principi che secondo noi avrebbero aiutato a limitare il nostro impatto sull&#039;ambiente. Coloro che hanno partecipato a questo incontro e pochi altri sono diventati il gruppo di lavoro dietro questa iniziativa. Quelli del gruppo di lavoro sono: Sarah Marino, Ron Coscorrosa, Jack Brauer, David Kingham, Jennifer Renwick, Matt Payne, Scott Bacon, Tony Litschewski, Mike Anderson, Eric Bennett, Phil Monson e io.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Sapendo che non rappresentiamo l&#039;intero spettro di fotografi paesaggisti, abbiamo inviato la nostra proposta a un gruppo piuttosto ampio e diversificato di fotografi paesaggisti per ottenere il loro contributo. Abbiamo quindi trascorso gran parte dell&#039;anno modificando e adattando questi principi sulla base dei loro pensieri e suggerimenti molto utili, risultando nei sette principi elencati in questo sito web.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Una delle preoccupazioni espresse all&#039;inizio era il potenziale impatto su coloro che si guadagnano da vivere con la fotografia naturalistica. Poich\u00e9 molti di noi nel gruppo di lavoro sono fotografi naturalisti professionisti, abbiamo cercato concretamente di affrontare questo problema. I principi finali che credevamo potessero essere seguiti dai fotografi professionisti. Sebbene possa cambiare il modo in cui ci avviciniamo a luoghi delicati, la nostra speranza \u00e8 che questi principi contribuiscano a garantire che ci siano splendidi luoghi naturali incontaminati da fotografare per le generazioni a venire.<\/p><h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">LA VISIONE<\/h3><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Il nostro obiettivo \u00e8 cambiare la cultura della fotografia naturalistica. Crediamo che la fotografia naturalistica debba aiutare a celebrare, informare e proteggere il mondo naturale, non portare al suo danno o alla sua distruzione. Abbiamo scelto il nome &quot;Nature First&quot; poich\u00e9 il cuore di questi principi \u00e8 mettere il benessere della natura al di sopra della nostra fotografia. Vorremmo vedere la nostra comunit\u00e0 diventare una comunit\u00e0 all&#039;avanguardia nella cura dell&#039;ambiente, portando l&#039;attenzione alla nostra societ\u00e0 sulla necessit\u00e0 di prendersi cura e preservare le terre naturali.<\/p><h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">COSA SIAMO<\/h3><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ti invitiamo a unirti a questa alleanza di fotografi impegnati nella fotografia naturalistica responsabile. Non abbiamo altro programma se non che tu ti unisca a noi nell&#039;impegno ad applicare questi 7 principi nella tua fotografia. Questa \u00e8 un&#039;associazione informale di fotografi appassionati di prendersi cura del mondo naturale. Non stiamo cercando di essere un altro Nature Photographer&#039;s Network (NPN) o North American Nature Photographer&#039;s Association (NANPA), ma piuttosto un movimento all&#039;interno della comunit\u00e0 fotografica che speriamo si diffonda a tutti i fotografi e le organizzazioni fotografiche di questo pianeta. Questo movimento non \u00e8 limitato ai fotografi naturalisti, ma \u00e8 aperto a chiunque faccia fotografie in ambienti naturali. Riteniamo che rimanendo uniti attorno a questi principi saremo in grado di cambiare l&#039;attuale cultura della fotografia e fare la nostra parte per aiutare a preservare il mondo naturale.<\/p><h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">FUTURO<\/h3><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ci rendiamo conto che questo \u00e8 solo l&#039;inizio di ci\u00f2 che possiamo fare per rivendicare il nostro ruolo di ambasciatori del mondo naturale e che c&#039;\u00e8 ancora molto lavoro da fare. Alla fine vorremmo riunire altri gruppi per sviluppare principi che si applichino al loro genere specifico, che si tratti di fotografia naturalistica, fotografia di ritratto in natura o workshop fotografici. Vorremmo anche diventare una forza per incoraggiare a parlare a nome del mondo naturale ed educare il nostro mondo sulla preziosit\u00e0 delle nostre terre selvagge rimanenti. \u00a0<\/p><h3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">CHIUSURA<\/h3><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Spero che ti unirai a noi in questa impresa. Non stiamo arrivando con tutte le risposte, ma semplicemente con l&#039;avvio di una piattaforma in cui possiamo iniziare questo viaggio insieme. Attendiamo con impazienza la vostra partecipazione, input e feedback tramite il nostro forum mentre sviluppiamo questa iniziativa insieme.<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Erik Stensland<\/p><p class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\">Estes Park, Colorado<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Questa zona a sei miglia dall&#039;inizio del sentiero era stata calpestata da troppi piedi.

As a result of his dubious advice, much of my early childhood was spent exploring the mountainous terrain around our Montana home with saltshaker in hand. During these years the wilderness found its way into some deep place within me and became a central part of my life. The solitude, the silence and the sense of connection with something much greater than myself has drawn me ever since.\r\n\r\nAfter college I spent about a decade living in Europe&#039;s Balkan Peninsula with my wife Joanna. Years of high stress during this period led to severe burnout. In pursuit of restoration I jumped at an opportunity to move to the mountains of Colorado at the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. There, on quiet trails, surrounded by beauty and solitude, my soul began to recover.\r\n\r\nI decided to make a career of hiking and so became a professional nature photographer. As I hiked the many trails of the national park both day and night in pursuit of unique images, I came back to life and found myself overflowing with things I wanted to write about. This led me to become a writer and also a publisher. This time in the wild continues to impress on me that we all need more solitude, stillness, silence, and beauty in our lives."}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/41"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2883,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions\/2883"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naturefirst.org\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"parola chiave","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
