At Sylva's City Lights Sat. Dec. 8: Presentation by Asheville Photographer
City Lights Bookstore in Sylva will host Asheville photographer Kevin Adams on Saturday, December 8th at 4 p.m., for a presentation based on his new book, North Carolina Then & Now.
Published in the fall, the book features more than 75 pairs of oversized photographs of places around the state. Both shots of each pair are taken from the same vantage point, but one is a new photograph taken by Adams and the other is a historic photograph. The photos demonstrate the rapid pace of development in NC over the past 75 years.
Covering all parts of the state, the book includes many photographs from the mountain region, including the downtowns of Sylva, Bryson City, and Asheville. Various mountain views, including Whiteside Cove, Linville Gorge, and Tablerock Mountain are also featured.
Adams includes an extensive caption with each photograph, describing the scene's history. He consulted more than 10,000 historic photographs before choosing which ones to include in the book.
Adams will discuss his research and photography techniques and take questions from the audience. An autographing will follow his remarks.
For more information or to reserve a signed copy of the book, call City Lights at 586-9499. Copies of Adams' previous books, North Carolina Waterfalls and North Carolina's Best Wildflower Hikes, will be available.
