TESTIMONIALS
"Joe’s spectacular work is exposing a wide audience to the beauty of the Missouri River, to its changes over time, and to the need for greater protection. We are proud to be a part of this exciting project and to help citizens connect with the knowledge and experience Joe has to share."
Steve Adams
Superintendent for the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail

"If you love the Missouri River, you absolutely need to make a trip to the Pierre Mall soon in order to catch the showing of Missouri River Exposed. Pierre native Joe Riis has captured breathtaking photographic images of the river and its environs. With some thought provoking text about the management of the river, the Missouri River Exposed project goes beyond the pretty pictures to looking at the river as a valuable and significant resource. Highly recommended."

"There’s more to the Muddy Mo than brown goo. The longest body of water in America, the Missouri River is a vast, complex natural ecosystem that requires careful management amid heavy human use. That delicate balance is the thrust of a new exhibition by conservation photographer Joe Riis. His images and text examine various aspects of the river and its habitat, including the highly endangered pallid sturgeon, interior least tern and threatened piping plover. Riis grew up on the river and has explored vast stretches of it by kayak. He hopes his images instill in the public an appreciation of the river’s natural beauty and an awareness of the ecological problems that threaten it and the species that depend on it."
