VTSSM's Red Bench Speaker Series presents, The Golden Era of East Coast Snowboarding. Join award-winning photographer Gary Land on the virtual Red Bench on Thursday, October 20th at 7pm via Zoom.
Gary will share his latest work, East Street Archives, a photographic journey and his personal love letter to snowboarding. In the Spring of 2020 Gary began sifting through his archived 35mm slides of 90's snowboarding images. This resulted in a 437-page book dedicated to the riders of snowboarding's golden era.
We'll hear from Gary about his career trajectory photographing the likes of Allen Iverson, Venus Williams, Tom Brady, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Pharrell, and hundreds more, and why he named his new book East Street Archives.
Joining Gary on the Red Bench is long-time friend Chris Copley, who will moderate the discussion.
Gary and Chris will discuss Gary's humble beginnings, his professional trajectory, and the path back to rediscovering his snowboarding roots and the launch of East Street Archives.
