OGDEN, UT -- Weber Pathways is excited to feature award winning writer/photographer Pete McBride at this year's 12th annual Author Dinner. This inspiring event will be held Friday, March 13th at Hub 801, 3525 Riverdale Road, in Ogden.
“Presentation: “A Tribute to Wilderness: 50 Years Preserving& Connecting.”
Native Coloradan Pete McBride has spent almost two decades studying the world with his camera. A self-taught, award-winning photographer, filmmaker and writer, he has traveled on assignment to over 65 countries for the publications of the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Outside, Men’s Journal, Esquire and many others.
Pete is passionate about storytelling and unique, gripping ways to communicate them, whether it involves vantages from 20,000 feet or swimming below icebergs. His perspective on capturing water-related stories led American Photo Magazine to list Pete as "one of the top five water photographers" in the nation.
After a decade working mostly abroad, Pete decided to focus his cameras closer to home on a subject closer to his heart. Combining his passion for aviation and his belief in conservation, he spent over two years documenting his local river — the Colorado. This journey culminated in the acclaimed coffee table book: “The Colorado River: Flowing Through Conflict”, an award-winning short film, “Chasing Water” and a traveling museum exhibit/ lecture currently touring the U.S. Pete’s film "Chasing Water" has won over 20 film festival awards including "Best Short Documentary" at Canada's Banff Mtn. Film Festival.
When not on assignment, you can find Peter in the mountains or on the rivers around the Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado.
Music will be provided by Raven Spirit
The evening will also feature food from the Union Grill.
