Tao and the Photographic Image - A personal and historical inquiry

Tao and the Photographic Image - A personal and historical inquiry.

A presentation by Professor/Photographer - Rob Rogers.

 In this presentation photographer, professor, and author Bob Rogers will be speaking about photography.

“...Seeking the whisper of the sublime, of the spiritual and the unbidden in the ordinary has become increasingly difficult in the cacophony of contemporary life,” Rogers wrote. “And today, finding an audience capable of appreciating it in a hyper-monetized art world that overvalues celebrity and shock is like panning for the last nuggets of treasure in a washed-out gold field.”
