Larry C. Price, award-winning documentary photographer will visit the library on April 14th. In 2015, he and his PBS team received an Emmy for the following video segment.
This quote from his website illustrates his work and his goals:
“With my camera, I strive to illuminate the human condition, to show moments of joy and grief, of struggle and success, of beauty and desolation without filter. And hopefully, if I do my job, the way it should be done, my pictures will give voice to those whose stories otherwise would remain untold and inform and engage the rest of us.”
Try to join us on the 14th to experience the work of this Pulitzer Prize winner who is currently at work on multi-year projects to document child labor and global pollution with the support of the Washington, D.C.-based Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
This program is funded in part by the Maine Humanities Council as part of the Pulitzer Prize Centennial Campfires Initiative, a joint venture of the Pulitzer Prizes Board and the Federation of State Humanities Councils, in celebration of the 2016 Centennial of the Prizes. The initiative seeks to illuminate the impact of journalism and the humanities on American life today, to imagine their future, and to inspire new generations to consider the values represented by the body of Pulitzer Prize-winning work.
For their generous support for the Campfires Initiative, we thank the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York,
the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Pulitzer Prizes Board, and Columbia University.
