Archaeology Behind the Lens
May 15 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
What is it like photographing pyramids in Sudan for Smithsonian Magazine? How about covering an excavation from a Trojan War palace in Greece for The New York Times? In this lecture archaeologist and photojournalist Matt Stirn will talk about his transition from researching prehistoric villages in the Rocky Mountains to covering archaeology stories around the world for magazines and newspapers.
