2019-10-09 19:00 | Google Hangouts, 4 Moncrieff Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand
Lloyd Homer is one of the leading photographers of New Zealand’s natural environment. Working for the Geological Survey (now GNS Science) for over 35 years, he was at hand to record the impact of events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and landslides. In the later part of his career Lloyd specialized in aerial photography, creating spectacular panoramas from high altitude. Simon Nathan has worked with Lloyd for many years, and has recently published a book on his photographic career. For this illustrated talk, Simon has chosen a selection of his favourite images from the book (with some extra images around the Wellington region as a bonus).
