2018 Marie Hurley Travel Lecture Featuring Daryl Hawk

Join explorer and international documentary photographer Daryl Hawk for Distant Journeys, a 30 year retrospective of color images from around the world, at the 2018 Marie Hurley Travel Lecture on Sunday, October 14 at 2 p.m. at The Ernest A. DiMattia, Jr. Building of The Ferguson Library.

For the past 30 years, Daryl Hawk has traveled alone to some of the most remote and isolated places in the world telling stories with his camera. For Distant Journeys, 300 of Hawk’s favorite images from North, Central and South America, Cuba, Patagonia, the Arctic, Antarctica, India, Ladakh, Bhutan, New Zealand will be shown as he shares stories and important lessons he has learned from his travels.

Mr. Hawk said of the Distant Journeys presentation, “This is a very meaningful and exciting show for me. It is hard to believe that 30 years have gone by – so many adventures and unforgettable experiences. Every photo has a story and the most important lesson that I have learned as I continue to document the world is that people from all countries share the same basic needs and desires.” With a visually interpretive style, Hawk tries to capture the heart and soul of a country on film, depicting the characteristics of the landscapes, as well as the timeless moments and passions of the people.

Daryl Hawk is also a lecturer, travel writer and workshop instructor whose articles and photographs often appear in magazines and newspapers worldwide. He is a member of the Explorers Club, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and member of the Professional Photographers Association.

Mr. Hawk is the former host and producer of the Cablevision television show, The Unconventional Traveler, which featured some of the world’s leading explorers, adventurers and filmmakers. He produced over 100 shows with such notable explorers as Buzz Aldrin, Jane Goodall, Reinhold Messner and George Schaller.

Additionally, he has also published five hardcover photography books, Distant Journeys, Quiet Moments, White Pond, Manhattan, and Into the Heart of Cuba.

He also runs Hawk Photography, a full-service studio in Wilton, Connecticut, specializing in wedding, portrait, corporate, editorial and advertising photography.

This program is free and is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call 203 351-8231.
