Gemina’s photography has been published in a variety of works over the last 10 years, including National Geographic Student Expeditions catalogues, “Whaling in Faial” by the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Nikon and Photographer’s Form Best of College Photography, and the Colgate Scene. After her year of research and travel during the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship, she published a book of photojournalism entitled “Once Upon A Watson: A Year’s Journey Into the World.” A past recipient of the Rhode Island School of Design Annual Art Award, her work has been shown widely over the years in her home town of Santa Fe, NM. Her work can be viewed online at her website.
