Eternal Beauty: Green-Wood Through the Lens BOOK Talk & TROLLEY Tour
March 31, 2012, at 1:00 pm: Photographer John Thomas Grant inspires us with images from his extraordinary book Final Thoughts on the “landscaped paradises” that are cemeteries in America. Viewed as a unique art form, the headstones and memorials that are found in America’s cemeteries are captured in Grant’s inspiring photographs. This event has two parts, with separate tickets for each part: The free book talk/presentation in the historic Green-Wood chapel, ending with a book signing. A guided trolley tour immediately following the talk. BRING YOUR CAMERA! Grant will show you his favorite spots in Green-Wood and give hands-on tips and advice on photographing at Green-Wood. Tickets are $15 for members of the Green-Wood Historic Fund and $20 for non-members. Order here.
