Photographer Norman Riley, Glacier National Park’s current artist-in-residence, will host a July 30 presentation on his work and the work of other shutterbugs in the park.

The free presentation, “Photographers in Glacier National Park,” will cover early photographers and the role their images have played in bringing people to the park, as well as how the early photos have helped researchers understand how the park has changed in the last 100 years.

Riley is an American photographer based out of Bellingham, Washington, who, like Ansel Adams before him, works in the f/64 tradition, using his old-style film camera to capture highly detailed black-and-white images.

Along with international publication, Riley’s works are also featured in permanent collections around the United States.

The presentation runs from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the park’s community building in West Glacier.
