The Norwalk Camera Club is proud to sponsor International documentary photographer Daryl Hawk for a special photography presentation and lecture : May 13, 2013 at 7:30PM @ The Weston Library
“HIGH ADVENTURE: OVER THE ANDES”
Based on his most recent expedition to the remote Northwest Frontier of Argentina this past April.
Hawk embarked alone on a 3000 mile journey across the Altiplano Plateau and over the spectacular 18,000 ft plus Andean mountains where Argentina, Bolivia and Chile meet.
The native people survive in one of the most remote, high altitude, bewitching landscapes on earth. Known as Collas, these inhabitants of the region maintain ancient traditions giving thanks to Mother Earth.
While on the highest roads in the Americas, or “the road to the clouds”, Hawk photographed and explored spectacular geological formations and canyons, high altitude lakes, indigenous cultures, pre-Hispanic ruins, massive salt flats, geysers, the Atacama desert and the highest active volcanoes in the world. The spiritual journey culminated with the unexpected discovery of Mount Hornical, a hidden away and little known fourteen colored mountain.
Hawk will share his discoveries, stories, and important lessons from the nonstop adventures he experienced everyday on this enlightening journey. He will also discuss his style, philosophy, and various techniques he uses when photographing subject matter.
For the past 25 years, Daryl Hawk has traveled to some of the most remote and isolated places in the world telling stories with his camera. He spends weeks at a time documenting and immersing himself in the different cultures and landscapes.
A member of the Explorers Club, travel writer and lecturer whose articles and photos appear in magazines worldwide he’s been featured on NBC’s Today Show and Fox 5 TV. He is the former producer and host of the Cable TV show “The Unconventional Traveler” and has 3 published books: Distant Journeys, Quiet Moments, White Pond.
