Kittner Gallery Talk at Library of Congress 2/12/13

Community Buy-Out,  Revielletown, LA 1988

Please join me Tuesday 2/12/13 at The Library of Congress' (LOC) noon gallery talk as I will be reaching back in my memory (which is a lot easier if you have photos to help take you back in time) discussing the environmental documentary photography I produced oh so long ago in the late 1980s and early 90s.  Two prints from that body of work are on display the Graphic Arts Gallery, Jefferson Building in the exhibit "Down to Earth: Herblock and Photographers Observe the Environment."
This will be a short, informal program from noon-12:30pm.

Take a look at my earlier post about the show and how a set of my photographs were acquired by the LOC.

And, yes, it is a little weird feeling when you are old enough to talk about work you produced early in your career, almost 25 years ago...kinda of strange...but I am certainly appreciative people are looking at these issues (which haven't gone away) and recognize the value of this work that I was so deeply involved in at the beginning of my journey as a photographer.
