Faces of the Fraser with Fernando Lessa
01:30pm -04:00pm
The FRDC invites you to join us online on September 12th, 1:30-3:00pm, for a digital presentation and talk by photographer and "outdoor storyteller" Fernando Lessa!
Fernando Lessa combines his skills as a photographer with a passion for outdoor activities and the natural world to document the important relationships between humankind and nature.
Fernando will be presenting his project “The Heart of the Fraser”, a photography series collected into a book through his collaboration with the BCIT Rivers Institute’s Ken Ashley. This work is a beautiful homage to the Lower Fraser River, featuring breathtaking views of the river and the life it supports.
From majestic views of the Fraser delta to snapshots of Salmon travelling upriver to spawn, his presentation is sure to delight and inspire audiences of all ages! This session will conclude with a Q&A session.
Registration is free and includes a link to the Zoom meeting. We hope you will join us!
