SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Russell C. Banks

Banks\, a celebrated American photographer whose work captures the quirks\, ironies\, and ambiguous moments of everyday life. \nRooted in the documentary tradition and inspired by both legendary street photographers and large-format masters\, Banks creates images where the surrounding structures and details play as vital a role as the people within them.

All welcome.\n1133 Arapahoe Street\, Golden\, CO\nPlease allot 15 minutes for parking
