[QueensPhoto] Lecture by professional photographer Nick Cobbing

[Bradon Smith]

Dear Queens College Photographic Society,

I just thought that I'd let you know about a forthcoming lecture by the 
acclaimed professional photojournalist and photographic artist Nick 
Cobbing (www.nickcobbing.co.uk). I am co-convenor of the Cultures of 
Climate Change research group at CRASSH (the Centre for Research in the 
Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities) - we meet on alternate Monday 
evenings for talks by artists and academics on the subject of 
representing climate change through art.

I feel sure that this lecture will be of great interest to many of your 
members. The event is free, and open to those outside the university as 
well as within it. This will be a fascinating insight into the working 
practices of a professional photojournalist, and the role of the 
photographer in raising awareness of this critical issue. I have 
summarised below the important information - I would be very grateful if 
you could circulate this information to your members, and to any other 
groups/individuals that you think would be interested. We hope to see 
many of you there.

Many thanks,

Bradon Smith

The "Cultures of Climate Change" group is delighted to welcome Nick 
Cobbing for the first session of this term. Nick is an acclaimed 
photojournalist and photographic artist whose work "focuses on the 
landscape, people's relationship to it and to each other". He has just 
returned from the recent Cape Farewell expedition to Greenland 
(www.capefarewell.com), one of his photos from which was chosen by TIME 
magazine in their Pictures of the Year 2007. His work "Surface Tension" 
- stunning photographs of the Greenland ice-cap from the air - has won 
two major awards and was widely published. Nick will present a slide 
show of his photographs and talk about his experiences documenting the 
process of climate change through photography.

Nick's lecture will last approximately 40 minutes, allowing plenty of 
time for questions, and for an informal wine reception. The event is 
free and open to all. We look forward to see many of you there.
