Bob Rozinski and Wendy Shattil

So begins the preface to Close to Home, a book of images by 34 photographers of Colorado's urban wildlife. Shattil and Rozinski coordinated the project, which is a treasury of the often surprising, always satisfying visions of wildlife that has found a way to hold forth in even the most built environments. Part of the fascination of Shattil and Rozinski's work is how it brings the wild into our daily life: the wild is not a place to venture out to, but to find in a vacant lot, an old cemetary, the roofline, or the forgotten open space at the edge of town..
