Joe Rossi’s career as a photojournalist led him to fascinating places close to home in Minnesota and across the globe. Ten years ago he published Minnesota’s Hidden Alphabet with author David LaRochelle. The book combines LaRochelle’s inspiring, educational text alongside Rossi’s fascinating images that encourage the reader to see differently – think of a T in the wing patterns of an orange barred carpet moth or a B in the pattern of a turtle shell. The harmonious combination motivates kids and adults to look a bit more closely and creatively at the natural world around them. In this Area Voices segment, Joe discusses his journey as a photojournalist, Minnesota’s Hidden Alphabet, and coming full circle, retiring up north on property he cherished as a kid.
