Glen Canyon Lecture Series - "How & Where To Make Great Photographs" presented by Jack Dykinga

Date: Tuesday, May 13, 2008
Time:  7:00 p.m. (Doors open at 6:45 p.m.)
Where: Carl Hayden Visitor Center at Glen Canyon Dam, Page, AZ
Description:
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Jack Dykinga will present photographs and tips from his latest two books:  Arizona Highways Photography Guide:  How & Where to Make Great Photographs and Images:  Jack Dykinga's Grand Canyon.  Arizona Highways Photography Guide: How & Where To Make Great Photographs is an easy-to-follow, illustrated guide that combines information about the basics of film and digital photography with details about different types of photography, such as landscape, architecture, people and events.  There's also specific information about photographing the defining locations in Arizona, including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Monument Valley, and the Mogollon Rim.

In Images:  Jack Dykinga's Grand Canyon, stunning vistas of the Grand Canyon come alive through the photography of Pulitzer Prize winner Jack Dykinga.  Complimenting the photography, award-winning writers Charles Bowden and Wayne Ranney offer unique perspectives on the Canyon's magnificent beauty and the theories surrounding its fascinating formation.

Jack Dykinga began his photojournalism career with the Chicago Tribune.  In 1971, as a member of the Chicago Sun Times staff, he won journalism's highest award, the Pulitzer Prize, for feature photography.  He came to Arizona in 1976 and five years later began his freelance career making landscape photographs.  Dykinga's work reflects the merging of a photojournalistic, documentary approach with large-format landscape photography, focusing on environmental issues in the United States and Mexico.  His work regularly appears in Arizona Highways.  The 36x40 Fuji Crystal Archive prints of his work are breathtaking and highly valued by collectors.  Dykinga lives in Tucson.

A Book Signing will follow the presentation.

Admission is free.  The Glen Canyon Lecture Series is sponsored by Glen Canyon Natural History Association, Powell Museum, and Page Public Library and provided as a service to the community and the visitors to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Rainbow Bridge National Monument, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Glen Canyon Dam/Lake Powell. Due to the security at Carl Hayden Visitor Center, no bags, purses, or pocket knives are allowed - you can bring in cameras, wallets, etc.
