Photos by local photographer Reeves on display

Photo by Tim Reeves taken at Ijams Nature Center





For the next several weeks, the nature photography of Timothy Reeves is on display in the Visitor Center.

Tim is a native Knoxvillian and frequent visitor to Ijams. 


"I like Ijams because it is a tranquil place to come and get lost in your thoughts and there is always something interesting to see," says Reeves. "Photography is like seeing the world through childlike eyes and finding beauty in places where there is none," he adds.


"I like photography because a well taken photo can speak to the soul. It is always amazing to me to hear someone say that one of my photographs sparked a feeling of emotion to think that the emotions I have are trapped in the photograph and are there to be discovered by others. It is great feeling to know what you have done has touched others," Reeves says.  "I am proud to be from Knoxville and proud to say that I live in a city that has a place like Ijams, a great source of inspiration."


All of the photos in the exhibit were taken at the nature center.
