Ruth Riley and Dr. Donald Wuori
The School of Medicine Library is happy to announce that a beautiful photograph is now on display on the first floor that was shot by Dr. Donald F. Wuori, retired faculty from the School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics. The photograph of the bald eagle was shot on the Wateree River in Lugoff, South Carolina. The Library is pleased that visitors to the Library will be able enjoy Dr. Wuori’s artistic talent as a photographer. Dr. Wuori’s photo of a Prothonotary Warbler in the Francis Beidler Forest in Harleyville, South Carolina was the Amateur Winner in the 2015 National Audubon Society Photography Awards. His photo was one of the nine photos chosen from an astounding 9,000 entries submitted from all corners of North America.
Dr. Wuori was born and raised in New York City and attended the City College of New York and the Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. Many of his early days, especially weekends and summers, were spent in Finnish Communities in the New York and Rhode Island countryside where he learned that he loved to commune with nature. After working for over 20 years as the Director of the Developmental and Behavioral Pediatric Clinic at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, he retired to spend time with his family and to pursue his passions. While practicing at UofSC, he and his wife Joanne developed an interest in nature photography. Since then, Dr. Wuori has grown his photography interest into a well-developed hobby.
