On a special evening for the club, National Geographic Photographer, Nevada Wier, will share her experience and expertise as an award-winning travel and adventure photographer.
In her travels, Nevada specializes in the remote corners of the globe and the cultures that inhabit them. Nevada's journeys have taken her throughout Southeast Asia, India, China, Nepal, Africa, and South America.
Her recent exhibit, A Nomadic Vision: 25 Years, just completed a six-week viewing at the Verve Gallery in Santa Fe. Nevada is also an award-winning author, including The Land of Nine Dragons--Vietnam Today (1992) and Adventure Travel Photography (1993). Her newest book A Nomadic Vision is in production.
Nevada has also been featured on numerous television shows, including the National Geographic Explorer, Through the Lens, the Canon Photo Safaris on ESPN, and The Travel Channel.
Nevada's topic for the evening will be The Spirit of Travel. In a lively and educational talk, Nevada will discuss how she began traveling to remote locations to document indigenous cultures, the art of photographing people, and how to make creative photographic choices. She will illustrate the discussion by showing her award-winning photography, images that are so compelling and creative that they transcend the usual travel cliche.
In Santa Fe and other locations, Nevada teaches photographic workshops. She also conducts Photo Tours for National Geographic. Her next tour is to Delhi, India, from November 5-17, 2010.
