The POWERHOUSE Arena invites you to join Benjamin Swett for a discussion and reading of his latest book, The Picture Not Taken: On Life and Photography, a New York Review Books original out this October.
In an age when most of us carry a device seemingly capable of freeze-framing the world, Benjamin Swett writes with refreshing clarity on the way of the true photographer. The Picture Not Taken combines cultural criticism with personal revelation to examine how the lived experience of photography can endow the mundane with meaning while bringing attention to the beauty of both the natural world and the world we build.
Swett will be in conversation with Stanley Greenberg, author of Waterworks: A Journey through New York's Hidden Water System and Olmsted Trees.
Tickets are required.
