LANSING, Ill. (May 5, 2024) – Not only did Connie Simon purchase her own weather photo that was included in the “Lansing Through the Seasons” exhibition, she also purchased a Published Photographer sweatshirt. And then she returned to the gallery wall at the library to get a photo of the photo and the sweatshirt.
Connie’s photo, taken in January 2023, shows a coyote near the perimeter of the forest preserve. It was reproduced as a 14×11″ acrylic panel.
The weather photo exhibition will be on display at the library through May. Connie Simon and others who have purchased photos from the gallery will be able to take them home then.
To inquire about which photos are available for purchase (as originals or reprints), email [email protected].
Understanding the Journal Journeys
Having started in 2017 as a series of photos of people holding The Lansing Journal in various locations, the ongoing feature known as the Lansing Journal Journeys has officially expanded to include:

- People enjoying a Lansing Journal Latte (hot or iced) at Kdulche Café
- People wearing their Published Photographer shirts to celebrate the special status that comes from being published in The Lansing Journal
- People with weather photos that were part of The Lansing Journal’s first photo exhibition
