Weather photographer Jim Reed will give a special one hour presentation at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC on July 29, 2009 at 7:00 PM.
Jim will discuss the increasingly popular genre of weather photography, our changing climate, and America's cultural phenomena known as storm chasing.
On this extraordinary night of art and nature, Jim shares -- through his stunning images and video -- what it feels like to be within one-hundred-fifty feet of a twister, to be inside the dead-calm eye of a monstrous category four hurricane, and to survive a direct hit by Katrina.
Singled out by critics as one of the most unique and interpretive photographers working today, Jim's credits include National Geographic, Nikon, The New York Times, Reader's Digest, Time Magazine, and The Discovery Channel, to name a few.
In addition to showing photographs from his newest book, "Storm Chaser: A Photographer's Journey," Jim will sneak peek his newest project and share never-before-seen images. He signs copies of his book following the talk.
Tickets to the program are $15 for Corcoran members; $20 for the public. To receive the member rate online, you can use the member code: REED.
