Post-earthquake inspections at the Washington National Cathe

Recognized for his dramatic and atmospheric studies of Washington, D.C. landmarks, fine art photographer Colin Winterbottom talks about 15 years of taking photos from atop scaffolding–including recent work at the Washington Monument and Washington National Cathedral–and striking a balance between fine art and documentary photography. He shares previously unseen images and discusses how photographs of preservation work deepen the symbolism of national land-marks. This program complements the exhibition Scaling Washington, which is open to attendees before the talk.
