The imagery of long time local and world travel photographer, Chris Talbot, will be on display at the North Tahoe Event Center July through the end of September. To celebrate this exhibit and the Tahoe Lifestyle, TahoeFest 2010 will return in the fall 2010 with all proceeds going to the North Tahoe Regional Park children’s playground project in Tahoe Vista.
Chris’ current photography exhibit at the North Tahoe Event Center is an ensemble of Lake Tahoe and international scenes on canvas. This new exhibit will include an international trilogy of scenes from Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand as well as Tahoe panoramas, trilogies and single pieces. Chris uses both a Mamiya 7II rangefinder camera and a solid Nikon F5. Fuji Velvia 50 is the film of choice.
“I don’t like changing what was put in front of me by God. That is not my job,” says artist Chris Talbot.
Chris has lived in North Lake Tahoe for the past 34 years. As a Tahoe based travel-resort-landscape-wedding photographer Chris Talbot has been aiming his lenses at beautiful subject matter for twenty-five years. He has travelled to over 29 countries and spends three months of the year based out of Saigon, Vietnam. Chris says, “My job is easy. Capture beautiful images and show the world. I’m a lucky man.”
More information on his Photography is available at his website www.talbotimages.com. Also, look for the Lake Tahoe Tube (lithographs) at numerous Lake Tahoe Retail outlets.
The public is invited to visit the North Tahoe Event Center during normal business hours to view the art on display at no charge. The North Tahoe Event Center has partnered with North Tahoe Arts and the Art in Public Places program to provide rotating art exhibits available to the public. The Center hopes to provide a more inviting atmosphere through the showing of artwork with a connection to the North Tahoe Community, either through the artist or content of the work.
