Illustrating Thoreau's Maine Woods: A Photographer's Journey
Scot Miller discusses his seven-year project photographing northern Maine for his new book, The Maine Woods: A Photographic Journey Through an American Wilderness, which combines contemporary imagery with text from Henry David Thoreau’s classic essay collection, The Maine Woods (first published 150 years ago). He will also screen The Unexpected Journey, a short documentary about the making of the book.
Both Thoreau and Miller's journeys took place alongside the people and traditions of the Penobscot tribe, past and present. Special guest James Eric Francis, Sr., Director of Cultural and Historic Preservation for the Penobscot Nation, opens the evening with a presentation entitled, A Sense of Place: Henry David Thoreau's Wabanaki Perspective.
