Guest Speaker/Judge: Frank Van Riper

Frank Van Riper’s award winning career in journalism began in 1967 on the New York Daily News where for 20 years he served as White House correspondent, national political correspondent and ultimately Washington Bureau news editor. But he also has been a photographer for as long as he has been a writer and now, with the publication of his sixth book, he offers a documentary-cum-memoir about two of the world’s great cities: New York and Paris.

Recovered Memory: New York and Paris 1960-1980 is a meditation on time and place: before the internet and 24/7 news; when one could visit the Eiffel Tower without seeing police and automatic weapons, when a ride on the New York subway cost 15 cents, when the smell of fresh-baked baguettes wafted over nearly every Parisian neighborhood–when the Coney Island parachute ride still thrilled thousands.

Frank will talk to the IPS members about the ‘Recovered Memory’ book, the photographs included in it, and the creation process behind it.

Note: Copies of Frank’s beautiful and bestselling coffee table hardcover book will be available for purchase ($45, tax included). Frank will be happy to inscribe the book for IPS members following his presentation.
