Month of Photography Lecture | Tom Finke
Thursday, March 7, 2019
7:00–8:30 pm
Denver photographer and photography educator Tom Finke creates social documentary photography focusing on the urban and natural environments of locations primarily in Japan and the United States. His sensitive and poetic work focuses on people and the places in which we live. In his book Japan: Footprints in Time 1997-2010, Finke explains, “As a photographer my chief interest is to observe fleeting facial expressions and the constantly changing placements and angles of bodies in space… All of us are signaling to one another all the time, both deliberately and involuntarily. My photographs are just another part of the constant ritual of communication in which we all participate.”Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Lecture tickets are $5 for students, DAM members and CPAC members, $12 for general admission.

Denver photographer Evan Anderman’s experience as a geologist and pilot has greatly informed his photography. Using the Colorado landscape as his primary subject, Anderman’s work explores our relationship with and impact on the natural landscape, addressing issues that arise from land use for everything from agriculture and ranching to suburban sprawl and exploitation of natural resources. He explores these ideas through both abstract and representational compositions created from ground level and bird’s eye views highlighting the natural, the man-made and the juxtaposition of the two.Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Lecture tickets are $5 for students, DAM members and CPAC members, $12 for general admission.
