One of the first women photographers to work regularly with National Geographic magazine, Annie Griffiths has a distinguished career as a conservationist and pioneering feminist. She's taken pictures in more than 100 countries and done photo-stories on topics as far flung and exotic as Laurence of Arabia, Petra, Baja California and Sydney, Australia. A fellow with the International League of Conservation Photographers, she has also done projects about the effects of climate change and the lives of women living in poverty.
Her books include A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel, Last Stand: America's Virgin Land and Simply Beautiful. She will discuss her work and sign copies of her books at the Mpls Photo Center, 2400 N. 2nd St., Mpls from 7 p.m. - 9 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 18. Tickets, which include a wine and cheese reception, are $35 per person. You can order them here.
