The Church in Sag Harbor presents Insight Sunday with John Pinderhughes at noon on Sunday, January 19.
John Pinderhughes found love behind the lens of a camera in the mountains of Ethiopia during a summer college trip with Operation Crossroads Africa over 50 years ago. He has been capturing moments ever since. Join The Church for the first Insight Sunday of the new year as John shares the special story behind the portrait of his beloved grandmother, his “Gum-Gum,” taken on her first trip to Africa.
Capturing this heartfelt moment would be an inspirational spark to the young Pinderhughes, who would continue to deepen his love for the delicate art of capturing the essence of a moment within the realm of portraiture. With a longstanding career as a commercial and fine arts photographer and an ongoing membership with the Kamoinge Workshop, John proves that passion, commitment, and determination can take self-taught artists to new worlds and open doors for themselves and others. More importantly, John’s talk asks the audience what role sentimentality plays in the creative process.
Tickets are $10 and free for members. RSVP is required. View The Church’s events calendar here.
