Speaker: Monique Dykstra
Two published books of photography, two incredible journeys. Monique Dykstra will share her experiences with us.
Alone in the Appalachians, A City Girl's Trek from Maine to the Gaspesie.
Two months, a thousand kilometers and countless blisters later, Monique knew better. This is the story of her journey along the international Appalachian Trail- a journey that began one vertical mile straight up Mount Katahdin in Maine, took her through Maine and New Brunswick and finally a million steps down the trail to the windy tip of Cap Gaspe, Quebec.
My Heart on the Yukon River, Portraits from Alaska and the Yukon.
To create this book Monique canoed down the Yukon River, travelling over 3,000 kilometers across Canada's Yukon Territory and the State of Alaska. Paddling 50-60 km. per day, she photographed the unique individuals she met in the sparsely settled wilderness.
Monique Dykstra is an award-winning Montreal photographer. Her work has been called "stunning" (Globe and Mail), "breathtaking" (Ottawa Citizen), "lustrous" (Canadian Geographic), and "superb" (MRB). Ms. Dykstra has published two books of photography, wrote and photographed for the Montreal Gazette, and taught commercial photography at Montreal's Dawson College for almost a decade. She is also the owner of Studio Iris Photography, a busy Montreal photography studio. Join us for this memorable experience!
