Nathan Farb is perhaps best known in this area for his Adirondack nature photography. However, his creative work is extremely far-ranging – film, photojournalism, Russia and Romania, the “Summer of Love,” portraits, and urban life and streetscapes. This talk will include his photographs, short film pieces, interviews, all intertwined with his remembrances of a long and interesting career and life.

Nathan Farb burst onto the New York cultural scene at Joe Papp's Public Theater with his seven projector multi-media piece, Lockport in 1971. It was followed by his 1977 trip to Novosibirsk, Siberia resulting in the book, The Russians, which was published in Germany, France, Italy, Holland and the US. He returned to the Adirondacks where he did three books on the Adirondacks and one on the Galapagos Islands, all published by Rizzoli. He has had many solo shows and his work is in the collection at Museum of Modern Art, the Getty Museum, and many private collections. A documentary film about his trip to the Soviet Union in 1977 and return visit 45 years later, “Nathan Farb and the Cold War,” was released in 2024. Nathan grew up in Lake Placid and has lived in Jay for the past 40 years.
