WPL: Through a Different Lens
Location: 100 West Pacific Avenue, Telluride
Through a Different Lens celebrates the power of photography to slow time, magnify
the minute, remix the real, and immortalize the fleeting. Join Paul Pennington, Colby Smith, Kristen Hughes, and Peter Lundeen as they use the camera not just as a recording device, but as a tool for questioning assumptions and opening dialogue.
Through a Different Lens ultimately asks: What do we miss when we always look in the same direction? And what might we discover if we learn to see the world differently?
