  Subject: Harry Benson to visit Brentwood (TN) Camera Club


  For anyone who is in the Nashville, TN area we are having Harry Benson 
  at the April 1 meeting of the Brentwood Camera Club, any visitors are 
  welcome to come.

  Press release follows:

  Harry Benson, the internationally renowned Scottish photographer, will 
  be speaking to Brentwood Camera Club members on April 1 at the Otter 
  Creek Church. The public is invited to attend this free lecture 
  sponsored by Canon and the Brentwood Camera Club. Meetings start at 6pm.

  American audiences first became aware of Mr. Benson during the sixties 
  when he chronicled the travels, performances and lifestyle of the 
  Beatles. His fifty-year body of work includes photographs of every 
  American President since Dwight D. Eisenhower, portraits of celebrities 
  from Elizabeth Taylor to Andy Warhol and war-zone photo-essays.

  As a photojournalist he was within arms reach of Bobby Kennedy when he 
  was shot and on hand with camera, of course, during President Nixon’s 
  resignation. He also presented us with images of the Watts riots, the 
  fall of Czechoslovakia, Romania and the wreckage of the Twin Towers on 
  9/11. He was there when the Berlin Wall went up, and came down. His 
  camera was our lens to the first US casualty in Bosnia and the 
  firefights in Kosovo.

  Mr. Benson has been the recipient of many prestigious awards including 
  the National Press Photographers Association (N.P.P.A.) “Pictures of the 
  Year’ Award. His photographs are in the permanent collection of the 
  Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC and in the 
  Presidential Libraries of: Nixon, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Bush, and 
  Truman. His work is exhibited in galleries throughout the world.

  This event marks a rare visit by Mr. Benson to our area and the 
  community is encouraged to attend this special event.
