New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum April 2012 Calendar

Lecture Series: Chautauqua: Meet Photographer Laura Gilpin

April 12, 7 p.m.

Deborah Blanche will perform in a Chautauqua as famed photographer Laura Gilpin. She packed her equipment in on horseback to photograph the source of the Rio Grande, did studio portraits for society matrons, directed pilots to \"fly low\" over Shiprock to capture the light and shadows from every possible angle. Gilpin experimented with every subject and photographic technique for over 55 years before receiving widespread national recognition for it. In this show meet Miss Gilpin as she was in the year 1954 - a confident, ebullient woman in her early 60s, a native of Colorado and resident of Santa Fe. As Gilpin, Deborah Blanche narrates a slide show which includes images from her first Lumiere color prints to many from her best known book, The Enduring Navajo. She answers questions and tells some of the behind-the-camera stories about the photographic retrospective that parallels her life. The program is sponsored by the New Mexico Humanities Council, the Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Friends of the New Mexico Farm & Ranch Heritage Museum. Admission is a suggested donation of $2.
