 FREE LECTURE

The Photographic Historical Society of New England is proud to present Dr. Jim Bales at its May Photographica Camera Show. Jim will present a lecture on high-speed strobe photography. He is currently the Assistant Director of the Edgerton Center at MIT.

Jim will be lecturing on “Doc” Edgerton and his famous high-speed strobe photography. Doctor Edgerton was the patent holder on the electronic strobe. Doc’s pictures of the milk drop turning into a crown, bullets puncturing balloons as well as the bat swing of Ted Williams froze images that the human brain cannot even imagine, never mind capture. Many of Doc’s images have found their way into art museums all over the world.

This free lecture will take place at Americal Center located at Wakefield, MA. The lecture will take place at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 3, 2008.

Jim will be bringing along a few of MIT’s machines for the public to take thei r own high-speed strobe photographs after the lecture. Please bring your cameras (film or digital) to capture your experiments! This lecture would be of interest to anyone from ages 4 to 104. Prepare to be amazed.
