Don't miss this special opportunity to step into history through the lens of one of the Southwest's most influential photographers: Laura Gilpin, as portrayed by Deborah Blanche.
Sunday, March 2, 2pm, at the Connie Gotsch Theatre
FREE EVENT!
In this show, meet Laura Gilpin as she appeared in 1954, narrating images from her pioneering Lumière color prints and her acclaimed book, "The Enduring Navajo", while sharing the stories behind the lens.
Miss Gilpin traversed rugged landscapes, hauling her gear on horseback to photograph the source of the Rio Grande. She captured striking portraits of society women, instructed pilots to "fly low" over Shiprock to capture its distinctive light and shadows, and documented the timeless beauty of the Navajo people.
