Using a series of photographic examples, Christopher will examine how photographs can hold more than one possibility—suggesting what might have been and what may yet happen—and how this condition is central to what makes a photograph compelling.\n\nChristopher will also discuss how pairing images, done well, extends these possibilities—allowing meaning to shift and develop between photographs rather than within a single image alone.\n\nThe presentation will include a slideshow, followed by a brief Q&A.\n\n**Date:** Wednesday, April 22, 5 to 6:30pm\n\n**Location:** Zoom\n\n**This FREE, virtual event will be held on Zoom. Please Register to receive the Zoom link which will be emailed to you a few days before the event.**\n\nRegister\n\n### About the Speaker\n\nChristopher Giglio is a photographer, painter, sculptor, and teacher whose work addresses the role of technological mediation in contemporary life.
