Jeremy Cohen Takes His Fish on the Road

In our January/February issue we showcased some beautiful underwater photography from Jeremy Cohen, who is an associate VP at Penn State and who does scuba diving/photography as a hobby.
It turns out that that photo essay has led to some additional visibility for Jeremy’s work. Penn State Great Valley hosted an exhibit of his photos in April and May, as a result of the gallery director having seen our story.
More recently, the director of the Museum of Arts and Culture at New Rochelle High School in New York was looking at her son’s copy of The Penn Stater and saw the photo essay. She contacted Jeremy and arranged for 50 of his images to hang at the museum this summer.
“I’ll also have an opportunity in September,” Jeremy tells us, “to talk with students in New Rochelle about some of the ways universities such as Penn State can help them, whether as emerging scientists or as concerned citizens, to sustain the planet’s oceans and waterways.”
The Under the Sea exhibit runs from July 7 through Sept. 16 at the MAC; it’ll be open to the public Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m.
The exhibit will also include some images Jeremy took just this past March: He spent a week over spring break photographing sea turtles and manta rays off the Kona Coast in Hawaii. Below is just one of those photos, a stunning shot of a green sea turtle with three yellow-eyed tang. It’s even more beautiful large—just click on it to see a bigger version.
