<p>It is the Nevada Camera Club's pleasure to welcome world-renowned Sedona-based professional travel, nature, and landscape photographer for his presentation as he takes us on a photographic tour of ancient archaeological sites in fifty national parks, national monuments, state parks and other cherished sites in the American Southwest. Through his images you’ll go far back in time, to the era when the ancient people built cliff dwellings and created rock art in what is now the states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.</p><p>In his new book “The Ancient Southwest”, his work captures the essence of these locations in more than 130 spectacular images. From a personal quest that has lasted nearly 20 years, Lindahl has photographed not only the well-known ancient sites such as Mesa Verde, Canyon de Chelly, and Chaco Canyon, but he has traveled to lesser-known sites such as Sego Canyon, House of Fire, and the mysterious Hovenweep.</p><p>Lindahl will discuss the variety of challenges in bringing this comprehensive collection of images together. During the project Lindahl formulated techniques to photograph Indian artifacts in the museums, and he will explain a few of his methods for shooting everything from ancient tools, beautifully decorated pottery, and intricate dioramas. He will cover his use of night photography, light painting, HDR processing, and talk about making rare photos utilizing once-a-year special event opportunities, working with Native American guides, preparing for aerial photography shoots, and route-finding and backpacking to remote ancient sites.</p><p>Visit his website at <a href="http://www.larrylindahl.com/">http://www.larrylindahl.com/</a></p><p>Sunrise Hospital Auditorium</p>
