Led by: Steven Kane
This program blends butterfly photography, local ecology, and the timeless metaphor of butterfly metamorphosis as a lens for understanding human psychological and spiritual change across adulthood. Using original butterfly photographs by the presenter as well as a slide presentation, participants will explore the four stages of metamorphosis—egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly—and how each mirrors major phases of human life, including beginnings, growth, loss, renewal, and elderhood. The session invites quiet reflection and gentle discussion about how transformation unfolds over a lifetime and how nature can offer guidance and meaning during periods of change.
Kane is a college graduate and local enthusiast nature photographer living for the past 14 years in Chestertown. His focus is on birds, flowers, butterflies in flight and close-up macro imagery. The presenter blends ecological observation, visual storytelling, and reflective interpretation to help people experience nature as both a living system and a source of personal meaning. Kane have taught several courses on photography at WC-All.
