Antarctica, the White Continent Presentation with Ken Harvey
Wednesday, October 7 at 7pmAntarctica, with its stark beauty and extraordinary wildlife, is a joy to behold. The landmass is larger than the United States and boasts a mountain range that reaches over 16,000 feet in height. Superb white and blue icebergs glisten in the sunlight. Seals, penguins, whales, and dolphins feed and play in the frigid water. The albatross soars on a wingspan of ten feet. In the Antarctic summer, the sun shines 24 hours a day. There is no other place quite like it.
Ken Harvey received his initial formal training in art while studying architecture at Pratt Institute in New York City. A subsequent course in cinematography provided additional insight that proved to be invaluable. When he was in the US Army, he used the Army photo lab to learn how to develop film and print enlargements.
People have asked him what kind of photography he does. That is a hard question to answer because his interests are so diverse. His work tends to concentrate on landscapes and wildlife photography, but his images also include portraits, action, and creative images. He says that the subject matter is only part of the formula for the images that interest him; the lighting, composition, and drama are also vitally important.
His award-winning work has been featured in many venues, newspapers, magazines, and multiple solo exhibits.
Ken has traveled to every continent except Australia and has recently begun sharing his travel adventures with audiences.
This presentation is free, open to all, and will be held online using Zoom. To attend the presentation, please email librarian@townofbristolnh.org for the Zoom information.
