Simon Nathan has worked with Lloyd for many years, and has recently published a book on his photographic career. For this illustrated talk, Simon has chosen a selection of his favorite images from the book (with some extra images around Wellington as a bonus).

There will be an opportunity to buy copies of the book, and have the author sign them, at the presentation.

Simon Nathan is a geologist, science historian and biographer of Wellington. He is the author of a number of books including James Hector : explorer, scientist, leader (2015), Through the eyes of a miner : the photography of Joseph Divis (2016) and most recently Flying high: the photography of Lloyd Homer (2019)
