National Geographic calls photographer Pete McBride a “freshwater hero” for his work documenting the plight of the world’s great rivers.
Hear his story up close and personal, on April 20, 2016, at Morristown’s Mayo Performing Arts Center.
This free talk, sponsored by BASF, starts at 7:30 pm. You’ll need to reserve tickets–a maximum of four–so read on for more details.
FROM THE MAYO PERFORMING ARTS CENTER:
Thanks to a generous grant from BASF, we are pleased to offer this event FREE to the public.
Proof that passion, hard work, and guts matter more than the cost of your gear or where you went to school, Pete McBride has taken pictures from the cockpit of a WWI-vintage biplane and the underside of an iceberg, working in over 70 countries. Named a “freshwater hero” by National Geographic for his work photographing and filming great rivers, he’ll offer unforgettable journeys down two of them. The Colorado, featured in his award-winning film Chasing Water, flows through majestic landscapes but no longer reaches the sea. And the Ganges, India’s sacred waterway, revered as a god, but polluted by the people who worship it.
