Local photographers Brian Mohr and Emily Johnson, regular contributors to the outdoor media, will open their fourth annual Wild People, Wild Places slideshow series in Vermont during the Christmas vacation week, and follow with nearly a dozen shows throughout the winter.
"Our shows are a celebration of the great outdoors...of adventure...of wild places," says Mohr. "They enable us to share our work in ways that our magazine stories or photographic exhibits can't."
Mohr and Johnson's multi-media shows combine narration, still photography and now video footage to take viewers on the human-powered skiing, paddling and cycling adventures that form the backbone of their Wild People, Wild Places project. Upcoming shows include their ever-evolving "Off Piste in the Northeast" show about backcountry skiing throughout the Northeast; a digitally updated "Skiing East Greenland" featuring a unique month-long skiing adventure in the remote mountains of East Greenland; "Sailing and Skiing Iceland"; "By Bicycle through the Southern Andes"; and more.

Each show will run 60 to 90 minutes, leaving time for Q&A with the photographers and a raffle of sponsor-donated prizes. The photographers will use admission from the shows to support their ongoing conservation work in Vermont, Patagonia and the Arctic. A selection of cards and photographs will also be for sale at each show.
The first show is at Sugarbush on December 28 at 7 p.m. at the Gate House and is entitled "Off Piste in the Northeast." It is described as "an ever-evolving, multi-media slideshow featuring the latest off-piste skiing adventures of Vermont skiers and photographers Mohr and Johnson, including stories, photos and video footage from the Green Mountains, as well as New Hampshire's White Mountains, Maine's Katahdin, New York's Adirondacks and Quebec's Gaspe."

On January 1, Mohr and Johnson will present "Skiing East Greenland" at 7 p.m. at The Big Picture Theater in Waitsfield. Home to countless polar bear, melting glaciers and the Arctic's highest mountain ranges, East Greenland is one of the earth's wildest reaches.
Mohr and Johnson, co-owners of Ember Photography, photograph for a wide variety of editorial, commercial, wedding and fine-art clients, including Patagonia, National Geographic publications, Vermont Life and many Vermont businesses and organizations.

"Sailing and Skiing Iceland" is the slideshow that will be presented on January 10 at Mad River Glen at 7 p.m. It is a multi-media show featuring the backcountry skiing and sailing adventures of Mohr and Johnson during a recent trip to Iceland's northern mountains. The pair was also traveling on assignment for the Icelandic government, documenting opportunities for backcountry skiing and human-powered, adventure tourism in the region.
