Lake Tahoe: A Rephotographic History with Peter Goin

Thursday, July 10, 5:30 p.m.

Lake Tahoe: A Rephotographic History offers the most comprehensive view of the lake and its environment in a compelling visual compendium. Professor of Photography Peter Goin and his research team spent more than two decades researching original images made in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and they rephotographed selected historic views between 2009 and 2021. This is a visual journey of a changing and transformed landscape that inherently embraces an alpine ideal of nature; each pair of photographs reflects two moments in time in a historical narrative of sight and words. This is the largest photographic survey of Lake Tahoe, and it will be the definitive survey for many years to come.
