Everhart Museum and American Wine Society present “Movie Clips and Cocktail Tasting”

<p>KINGSTON &#8211; Award-winning photographer Doug Menuez will give a talk Dec. 1 at Wyoming Seminary&#8217;s Kirby Center for Creative Arts, describing his historic, insider images and stories from Silicon Valley that reveal the untold struggles of the greatest innovators of the Digital Revolution,</p><p>The lecture begins at 7 p.m. and admission is free.</p><p>This artist lecture is presented by Social Fabric Collective, a non-profit organization that empowers young adults, grades 9-12 in the local NEPA community through high quality photography classes. Registration and scholarship information for the Winter 2016 Session as well as information on how to donate to the Collective is available at www.socialfabriccollective.org.</p><p>In his lecture, based on his recent photo book &#8220;Fearless Genius: The Digital Revolution in Silicon Valley 1985-2000,&#8221; Menuez will describe how he shifted from covering famine and conflict in Africa to technology by gaining the trust of Steve Jobs. Shortly after being fired from Apple, Jobs allowed Menuez unprecedented access for over three years to photograph him with his team attempting to build a supercomputer for education.</p><p>Jobs&#8217; trust led to incredible access to many other leading innovators of the era so that Menuez could capture behind-the-scenes stories of discovery, failure, sacrifice and success. From 1985-2000 he photographed Jobs, Andy Grove, John Warnock, John Sculley, Carol Bartz, Bill Joy and John Doerr and over 70 companies to create an archive of 250,000 negatives now housed at Stanford University Library.</p><p>Menuez is now expanding the Fearless Genius project into a documentary, television and web series, traveling exhibition, digital platform and leadership conference program, and is developing education programs through his new MAP Foundation. His mission is to challenge, educate and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators and visual storytellers. For more information about the Fearless Genius visit www.fearlessgenius.org.</p><p>The lecture will be followed by a question and answer period.</p><p>Menuez began his photography career with the Washington Post, followed by Time, Newsweek, Life, People, USA Today, Fortune Magazine and many other worldwide publications. He has covered major news stories such as the famine in Ethiopia, destruction of the Amazon, the AIDS crisis, presidential campaigns, the Olympics and many other major world events. His work also has been published in nine of the bestselling &#8220;Day in the Life&#8221; books, and he has published several books of his own, which have helped to raise money for California earthquake victims and Ugandan AIDS orphans. His work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows around the world.</p><p>For more information about this lecture, or Social Fabric Collective contact Jamie Smith at 570-613-2222 or jamie@socialfabriccollective.org.</p><style>
