‘Photographic Journal of an Isolated Himalayan Culture’ presentation set May 15

Milton Arts Guild will present “Finding Beauty in Simplicity: A Photographic Journal of an Isolated Himalayan Culture,” with Paul Lenz, international photographer, at  6 p.m., Thursday, May 15, at the Milton CHEER Center, 24855 Broadkill Road, Milton. The talk is free, and the public is encouraged to attend.

Lenz will chronicle his journey to Ladakh, India, to document the culture of one of the most isolated communities in the world. Ladakh sits at the northwest corner of India, near the borders with Tibet, Nepal and Afghanistan. The community consists of multiple generations of just 200 families, and it is a five-day trek from the nearest road.

The images from Lenz’s stay in Ladakh capture the beauty and simplicity of the remote culture.

A retired physician who dedicated most of his life to healthcare, Lenz  has always returned to the art of photography, particularly where he can illuminate different geography and cultures. “In my travels to many distant corners of the world, I try to identify unusual and through-provoking aspects of the natural subject I am depicting,” he said.

The presentation is part of the guild’s MAG Talks series, which highlights various aspects of the creation, curation and business of art.
