Event description provided by Ralph Gibson:

Photography has come to mean many things to me through out my career.

For over forty years I have loved the medium and found that inspiration to make photographs could come from a wide source of other influences.

Most certainly my views have been formed by the history of painting and music, architecture and poetry.

I would like this lecture to briefly indicate my formative years and move quickly into those areas of inspiration that have played such an important role.

I will show and discuss some of the works that have played such an important role in my development as an artist. I will also include my own musical compositions as a sound track during the projection/lecture.
