Manchester Swivel Bar Height Bar Stool (30"H seat)
Thrilled so far
Purchased 3 of the bar height backless stools for my kitchen counter. Was concerned by some reviews which mentioned problems with the seats over time. Made purchase after one customer questioned this and was reassured that the manufacterer had fixed/dealt with the problem. They arrived very quickly, were packaged well, no assembly at all was required, excellent quality, overall beautiful, elegant stools. The only surprise was that they were bigger (overall diameter) than I anticipated. Very pleased so far....

Not so happy
I purchased 6 of these beautiful chairs in the spring of 2010 and love love the stylish look! However, for the reputation of Frontgate, and the expense of these chairs I am disappointed in how they sit. The padding has not held up and they are not comfortable, little knots can be felt when sitting. All of the chairs have done this even though I rotate them around to keep even wear and tear. They need reupholstered for comfort, sorry I invested so much money.

Looks Great...Seat padding is disappointing
We've owned the Manchester Swivel bar stools for a couple of years. However, the padding in the seats is average at best. After using them occassionally for a couple of years the padding has shifted and it feels like you are sitting directly on the wood. I wish could rate them higher because they do look so nice. But, the padding just does not live up to the quality of the rest of the chair.

Beautiful bar stools
I purchased three of the Manchester bar stools for our new home.They add a beautiful touch of elegance and are very high quality. The price is unbeatable. Would definitely recommend.

Manchester Swivel Bar Stool
Ordered 3 Manchester Bar Stools on sale. They arrived w/in the time projected, packed very well, look fabulous in front of our curved granite kitchen bar. I have looked over a year for some nice quality bar stools at a fairly decent price & finally found the Manchester Stool on sale. I love the seating of the stools as they are not just for tiny people!
September 24, 2013
Ordered these for our new home basement bar area..."stunning" does not do justice to these barstools! These are truly extraordinary in every way - not only in looks, but also in quality. The delivery was prompt - within 3 days of ordering, and they were expertly packed to prevent any potential shipping issues.

Manchester Bar Stool - Counter Height
I wanted to upgrade the bar stools that I used for my Kitchen. I eat at my kitchen counter more than my kitchen table. I have been looking at these chairs for a while and finally decided to buy them. They look and feel great. They have a lot of detail in the wood and give the kitchen a classy look. I am happy with the purchase and also looked in several stores and did not find any chairs that matched the detail and quality for this price. I am happy with my purchase.
July 4, 2013
Just what I was Searching for!
I had been searching for real leather - high back - swivel bar stools for our new home and came upon these. I ordered 5 to place around our island and to coordinate with our leather livingroom furniture. They arrived quickly and were extremely well packaged...simple to put together and oh so comfortable! Not to mention they are absolutely gorgeous! We ordered the black leather and I have to say we could not be more pleased!

Stool Height
Our kitchen counter height is 36". Should we buy Manchester 24 or 30" stools?
1 month, 3 weeks ago
Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. When choosing a stool, account for 9-12 inches between the top of the stool seat and the bottom of your countertop or bar surface. This will allow adequate spacing for legs. If your counter is 36"H, the 24" Counter Height stool would be most appropriate.Has staff answer

Summary (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
The first-person narrator informs the reader that he is trying to recall and write down everything that happened to him earlier. He describes the Spanish Inquisition's sentencing him to death, a sentence that he could not understand because of his extremely nervous state. When he regained consciousness temporarily, he felt himself being carried down and down into an apparent abyss. Later, when he was fully conscious, he knew that he was lying on his back in an oppressive, damp environment. Finally daring to open his eyes and finding himself in absolute darkness, he imagined that he was buried alive. Food and drink were provided to him only when he swooned or slept. Later, while investigating his surroundings, he narrowly escaped falling into a deep pit to a certain death. Shaken, but relieved, he fell asleep. When he awoke, some light entering the dungeon made it possible for him to compare the room to his calculations made in the dark.
Soon he discovered that one form of torture and execution had only been replaced with another, for he was strapped to a table so that only his head and left arm could be moved slightly. A large razor-sharp pendulum suspended overhead drew nearer with each pass. The ponderous rate at which it descended increased his agony, for he had to await death for what seemed to be many days. At last he developed a plan: He smeared some scraps of meat on his ropes so that the rats in the cell came to gnaw on them. Just as the...

Extended Summary
First published in 1843 and subsequently revised by Poe for an 1845 issue of The Broadway Journal, "The Pit and the Pendulum" is told by an unnamed first-person narrator whose credibility actually rises even as he is subjected to increasingly fantastic tortures. At the outset, the narrator acknowledges that he is "sick," but we immediately realize that his illness is not a form of insanity, but an hallucinatory condition that can be explained by the physical abuse that he has already undergone. Although he is temporarily deranged, the narrator is nonetheless rational. He is, in fact, a victim of the Spanish Inquisition in Toledo, accused of some unidentified (implicitly heretical) crime, and has been bound for sentencing. The narrator first hears the sound of his judges in a "dreamy hum," but is then unable to hear at all. Instead, he sees the white lips of the black-robed inquisitors as they pass sentence upon him. He focuses his sight on seven tall candles, which at first appear to him as angels, but then dissolve into meaningless forms. The whole scene, including the judges, vanishes before the narrator's eyes. He is now engulfed by utter darkness, and a single sweet note ringing in his ears that he associates with the relief of death. The narrator swoons and lapses into a limbo state of consciousness: he is aware of his own existence but he is disassociated from sensory contact with the external world.
The narrator suddenly experiences a sense of motion and when his full mental faculties return, he is able to recall his trial in full. He lies on his back, but he keeps his eyes shut, fearful of what he might see. He recalls tales of the horrible deaths that the torturers of the Spanish Inquisition have inflicted upon their victims. When he does open his eyes, he still cannot discern what his situation is because there it is pitch black. He initially fears that he has been buried alive; but when he is able to stand erect, he recognizes that he is in some sort of cell where he may be starved to death. He knows that the judges have imposed a death sentence, and that the only remaining questions are how and when it will be executed.
In complete darkness, the narrator tries to glean whatever he can about his physical surroundings. The walls and the floor of his enclosure are moist and slippery, and appear to be constructed of stone. He attempts to trace out its seemingly circular dimensions, marking a starting point with a...

Edgar Allan Poe is best known as the author of numerous spine-tingling stories of horror and suspense. "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a classic example of Poe's ability to keep readers on the edge of their seats with almost nightmarish terror. However, Poe should also be remembered as the American author who helped to establish and develop America's major formal contribution to the world of literature—the short story. Poe was the first writer to recognize that the short story was a different kind of fiction than the novel and the first to insist that for a story to have a powerful effect on the reader every single detail in the story should contribute to that effect. "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a striking example of Poe's ability to follow his own advice about the artistic unity of a short story.
Finally, Poe should be remembered as an artist who had the uncanny psychological understanding of the most powerful, deep-seated fears and anxieties of human beings, as well as the technical skill to write stories which unerringly focused on those fears. "The Pit and the Pendulum," with its emphasis on the terror of absolute darkness, on the fear of falling into a bottomless pit, and on the panic of helplessness, is a singular example of Poe's expertise at creating stories which capture universal human anxieties.

Parents just don't understand.
Kids don't either.
Almost every day brings a new criticism of what I'm watching or listening to:
Aug. 2, 2011
All In the Family –Sometimes I like to watch "All In The Family" while I'm washing the dishes.
In this episode: Archie, working as a taxi driver, gets in an altercation with a would-be robber, peppersprays the guy and winds up going to court himself because he's in possession of a dangerous weapon. Archie, a critic of the Civil Rights Movement, is let off on a Civil Rights violation.
My kid: "Why are you watching that? It's boring. Borrrring."
Aug. 3, 2011
Van Halen, "1984″ — I got this off Amazon's version of the bargain bin for $5. I was inspired by nostalgia. This was all the rage among kids at my junior high in, well… in 1984. The smoking baby angel on the cover said it all. There's really not much particularly naughty about this album. But back then, for us adolescents, it seemed dangerous. Or, at least, dangerously acceptable.
My kid: "No. No. No. No. I don't like it. Ew."
The track we were listening to: "Jump."
Aug. 3, 2011 (again)
Madonna, Fresh Prince — We were going through our family's music on the computer to pick out some stuff she might like to put on her mp3 player.
Me: "Do you like Madonna?"
Her: "Who's that? I don't think so. I don't have any idea who that is."
Me: "OK. Never mind."
"Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll."
Her: "Hey, wait! Who's that?"
Me: "Will Smith?"
Her: "Oh. I thought it said Willow Smith."
Me: "Oh. No."
Aug. 10, 2011
"It Takes Two" – From the first phrase, "I wanna rock right now," this song by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock always makes me smile and wanna roll my car windows down. It reminds me of my youth, when I was an up-and-coming rapper.
It came on this morning on "Backspin," one of the satellite radio channels I keep programmed in my car. The kids were in the back seat. And I was all like, "All right, you shout the 'woo" and I'll shout the 'yeah!'"
My kid: "This song is weird. Change the channel."
I kept it on. Next up was "Danger," an almost equally-catchy song by Blahzay Blahzay. ("When the East is in the house, Oh my God! DANGER!")
My kid: "I don't like rap."
Aug. 11, 2011
"Ring of Fire" — This was on my favoritest satellite radio channel, "Outlaw Country," which I love because of my younger days traveling America with Willie, Waylon and the boys.
What's not to love about this song? Penned by June Carter, was the biggest hit of Johnny Cash's career and features mariachi-style horns.
My kid: "Daddy, why do we have to listen to this? Whyyyyyyyy????"
Aug. 17, 2011
Grammar Girl — As I ate my morning Kix cereal, I put on one of my favorite podcasts, Grammar Girl. Her quick and dirty tips about grammar last about 5 minutes (about as long as it takes to consume a bowl of cereal), are useful and, by grammar lesson standards, are kind of funny.
My kid: "Why are you listening to that? It's so annoying?"
Me: "I like it. I learn something."
My kid: "It's annoyyyyyying."
Aug. 21, 2011
Kindle — My kid picks up my eReader and looks at the default screensaver, a photo of classic mystery novelist Agatha Christie.
Her: "Agathia Christie. She's weird. Well, at least she looks weird."
Me: "She writes mysteries."
Kid, now toggling through eReader contents, which include "Jonathon Strange & Mr. Norrell," "Treasure Island" and some other stuff: "Is this just books?"
Me: "Yeah, just books."
Kid: "Hmph."
She flips the off switch, and the Kindle puts up another screensaver. It's a picture of Alexandre Dumas, the author of "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo."
My kid: "His name has 'dumb' in it."

Member since
I want to do some approach hiking for BC snowboarding but splitboards are out of my price range... will my chicks' size 10 snowboard boots fit into these? I've heard the MSR's are the only ones that fit snowboard/ski boots...
Reid Pitman
Member since
They will indeed! I've been using the Evo Ascent for years, with a size 11 snowboard boot. The Tours take some time to set up for your boot size but but once they are set up you're good to go.
Be aware if you're going to be going through deep snow that you may want to get the "float tails" these are not very large shoes and do post-hole in light pow
Reid Pitman
Member since
Here's a shot of the boot in the shoe, they work great for spring touring
Member since
First shoes and very happy!
Member since
Been looking into getting snowshoes for a while and finally pulled the trigger on these. They fit perfectly, with the main front strap being a little tough to adjust initially, but working well once it was all squared away. The adjustability of the other straps is excellent and this makes sizing the shoes really simple.
The traction from the rails and the front teeth is out of this world! I do a lot of off-trail shoeing, going up some rather steep hills and slopes. These shoes hold like there's no tomorrow! I WOULD recommend the tails for these if there's any decent amount of powder, as even without a pack I sink in a decent amount (I'm only 155 lbs). Consequently, tails are on the way!
Overall, I'm VERY happy with these shoes and would recommend them to anyone who's looking to get a pair of snowshoes!
These are great snowshoes!
Member since
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was a little hesitant to buy snowshoes that weren't "women specific," as I'm pretty small (5'6'', 115), but these are great! The bindings adjust to my feet perfectly, they are easy to get on and off, and they have great float in powder. I didn't buy the extra tails, and might look into that for serious backcountry snow shoeing, but for everyday taking the dog on a romp off trail, these are amazing!

Terry Lindley

Dear Customer Service: I'm interested in the MSR EVO Tour snowshoes...are they all 22"? do you have to add extensions? I weigh 270 lbs. Please advise...Thank You...
Bryan Vernetson
Member since
Yes, they are all 22". You can add 6" extensions to make them a bit longer. There are other MSR shoes that go to 30". With your weight i would recommend at least the Evo with the tail if you are doing backcountry trekking. Hope this helps.
Nice Set of Snow Shoes
Alexander S
Member since
I have these and I like their toughness and versatility. The bindings allow you to put them on considerably quicker than others that require 3-4 bindings. I have heard that the complexity of other binding systems allow for a more snug fit, but I have not had any problems, especially since it comes with an optional third binding that you can detach. My only complaint is that you REALLY have to becareful that you don't lose the clip for the optional binding cause it get lost. I wish it had a better way to attach, however i guess that wouldn't make it an optional binding.
I want to get a pare of these but I herd...
Ricky John John Skiba
Member since
I want to get a pare of these but I herd from a little birdy that the large binding strap on these is not comfortable or easy to adjust. Does anyone have experience along the same line, and does anyone know if MSR will switch out the bindings on these for a different pare or would that just turn them into the Evo Ascents.
Member since
I'm not sure that they will plan on changing these bindings anytime in the near future because they do have another binding on this same snowshoe in the evo ascents. If you don't like the tour bindings go with the ascents, they're designed to be a more secure binding for all day use, whereas the tours are designed for easy on and off, so you set the front strap at the desired length, and then just slide your foot in at an angle, straighten it out, adjust the backstrap, and secure the "optional" security strap across the middle of the foot. There's usually only a 20 or 30 dollar difference between the two bindings, so it depends on what type of use you're planning for them. For all day use i would recommend the evo ascents, while if there's the possibility of frequent on and off, or you desire an easy on/off feature over the added security, go with the evo tours.
The person that I am purchasing these...
Member since
The person that I am purchasing these snowshoes for are around 180 pounds, would this shoe still function properly? Or do I need to look for options that don't have this weight on the high end of the limit?
Brian Reyman
Member since
It all depends on the conditions. If you're looking at a lot of powder, 180 pounds will definitely push these to the limit (especially considering the person will likely also have a pack of some weight...). You can, however, get tails for these (for about $40) that you snap onto the back to create greater flotation. I have them and they work great. Overall, these are fantastic, bomber snowshoes. If you're really concerned, though, go with the Lightnings, which will add a bit more length.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - A tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning issued by the National Weather Service for Staten Island have both expired, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll clear the way for a lovely fall evening. The latest forecast from the National Weather Service calls for showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 9 p.m. Monday, with scattered showers... Full story »

Chances are you can turn down the thermostat on your homes water heater a few degrees, and still have plenty of hot water for everyones daily shower, not to mention the dishes and laundry.
Installers and builders often think theyre doing homeowners a favor by jacking up a water heaters temperature (commonly to 140 degrees F). Maybe such hardworking folks really appreciate a long, hot soak. But its not necessary for most households to keep the appliance set to anything over 120 degrees F.
Lowering the temperature from 140 to 120 would reduce your water heating costs by 6 to 10%. Give it a try. Many people find that tweaking the dial can be addictive, and its easy to reduce the temperature further to 115 or even lower.
If you start to wonder why you need a tank at all, then you may be ready for a tankless water heater, or go solar.

Kate Middleton shows off baby bump
The Duchess of Cambridge shows off her bump during first public appearance of the year
Finally, the moment the world has been waiting for. Kate Middleton showed off her ever-growing pregnant belly on Tuesday during her first public appearance since the announcement of the royal pregnancy.
The New York Daily News reports that the Duchess showed off her mini bump at the Hope House in Clapham, a women's addiction treatment center, where she spoke about charity Action for Addiction.
And just like her non-pregnancy style, we're loving her look (as always). Middleton was glowing as she wore a gray Max Mara wrap dress, which ever so slightly revealed her little belly. This also marks the Duchess' first public appearance of 2013.
We can't wait to see what she wears next.

Landy Dean's office party makeup guide
To get the scoop on quick office party beauty tricks, we turned to Landy Dean, celebrity makeup artist at Marie Robinson salon. His simple tutorial requires only a handful of products, starting with the darkest, inkiest eyeliner you can find. Dean swears by the Nars Larger Than Life liners smudged over the waterline and lashline, topped off with a few coats of Maybelline The Falsies mascara. Before you dash off to apply product, there's one small step that involves removing makeup. "If your foundation and concealer have caked or creased, I recommend a quick removal with a cleansing towelette and a redo to avoid heavy looking skin," he cautions. For those who would prefer to go the easy route, apply a hydrating moisturizer using a stippling motion and a sponge. Finish the look with a dusting of BareMinerals Mineral Veil—"this will even out discolorations and give a reflective finish that still looks natural"—swap your work bag for a chic clutch, and get ready to ring in the season.

Calling all sexy vegans! The Ramona is the same Munster worshiped since the 90's, but without the leather. Made famous first by Lady Miss Kier who wore the iconic platforms on the cover of Dee-lite's debut album World Clique, then by Madonna who wore the sexy 4" Louis IV heel in her movie Madonna: Truth or Dare, The Munsters have long been the symbol of the '90s House/Club underground DJ scene. This animal-friendly version is made in Portugal and completely wrapped in Spanish velvet. Two zippers on either side add even more va-va-voom to these already decadent shoes. Groove is in the Heart.

Flanker wrote:Your theory is interesting but it doesn't hold.
The weird thing is, I didn't even put forward any theory at all; you did!
Remember it was YOU who came up with some out of context raw data from the annual report of Lufthansa as proof of a some rather naive statement to conclude that first post of yours with, something I tried to check by analytical quantification of the potential profit on the extra revenues generated since lufthansa took an equity stake in B.air and I think I managed to disprove you statement fairly well by simply analysing the data you've provided yourself. Mind you, note how I only touched one side of the equation so far: the other one (i.e. the albeit smaller reverse cash flow from LH to SN) was kept out, and that was actually still in your favour then, yet even without this side of the equation, it's clear you have no case to make!
And then, rather than accept the conclusion or debate it in an intellectual way with more facts and figures, something utterly strange happened of which I am still wondering what it is all about: you suddenly started asking all sort of completely unrelated and often even totally incomprehensible and poorly phrased questions, after which you basically started arguing with those very same questions you first put forward yourself, as if somehow I asked you any of those questions????
I hope you dont mind me asking, but is there some medical problem with you, maybe?
I know that if somebody in my family would start behaving as you did there, right in the middle of a rather "normal" discussion, I'd be very worried about his mental state.
Or is the claim by others true: that each time you loose a discussion, you immediately try to turn the topic and if the other party doesn't play along with this trick by ignoring all of your sidesteps and simply focussing on the essence of the discussion, you simply clutter the page with total and complete nonsense, hoping everybody wil just give in in total despair and thus not read anymore how you were shown wrong?
Just to summarise: YOU came with an accusation which I managed fairly easy to disprove; never during this discussion have I presented any single theory of mine, nor have I made any comment related to fleet composition, routes or strategies...I sticked to YOUR facts... And your fact alone.... And you.... Well, you seem to be just talking incomprehensible nonsense in response ever since.

Oskar Schell is a nine-year-old boy who lost his father in the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11. After finding a mysterious key in his father's closet, Oskar goes on a search to find the matching lock. His journey takes him to unusual places in the city for a nine-year-old... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"Does it break my heart, of course, every moment of every day, into more pieces than my heart was made of, I never thought of myself as quiet, much less silent, I never thought about things at all, everything changed, the distance that wedged itself between me and my unhappiness wasn't the world, it wasn't the bombs and burning buildings, it was me, my thinking, the cancer of never letting go, is ignorance bliss, I don't know, but it's painful to think, and tell me, what did thinking ever do for me, to what great place did thinking ever bring me? I think and think and think, I've thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it."
"Deja mi-e dor de tine Oskar.Mi-era dor chiar si atunci cand eram cu tine.Asta a fost mereu problema mea.Mi-e dor de ceea ce am deja si ma inconjor de lucruri care-mi lispesc."
"What about little microphones? What if everyone swallowed them, and they played the sounds of our hearts through little speakers, which could be in the pouches of our overalls? When you skateboarded down the street at night you could hear everyone's heartbeat, and they could hear yours, sort of like sonar. One weird thing is, I wonder if everyone's hearts would start to beat at the same time, like how women who live together have their menstrual periods at the same time, which I know about, but don't really want to know about. That would be so weird, except that the place in the hospital where babies are born would sound like a crystal chandelier in a houseboat, because the babies wouldn't have had time to match up their heartbeats yet. And at the finish line at the end of the New York City Marathon it would sound like war."
"We need enormous pockets, pockets big enough for our families and our friends, and even the people who aren't on our lists, people we've never met but still want to protect. We need pockets for boroughs and for cities, a pocket that could hold the universe."
"Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future."
"Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all of the lives I'm not living."
"If I'd been someone else in a different world I'd have done something different, but I was myself and the world was the world, so I was silent."
"When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calender that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from the chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table. I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness."
"I cried some more. I wanted to tell her all of the lies that I'd told her. And then I wanted her to tell that it was OK, because sometimes you have to do something bad to do something good."Oskar Schell
"If I had been alone, I would have given myself the biggest bruise of my life. I would have turned myself into one big bruise."Oskar Schell
"Anyway, the fascinating thing was that I read in National Geographic that there are more people alive now than have died in all of human history. In other words, if everyone wanted to play Hamlet at once, they couldn´t, because there aren´t enough skulls!"Oskar Schell
"I watched the fireflires of his thoughts orbit his head. He said, "We exist because we exist." "What the?" "We could imagine all sorts of universes unlike this one, but this is the one that happened."I understood what he meant, and I didn't disagree with him, but I didn't agree with him either. Just because you're an atheist, that doesn't mean you wouldn't love for things to have reasons for why they are."Oskar and his father
""Do you have any coffee?" I asked. "Coffee!" "It stunts my growth, and I'm afraid of death." He slapped the table and said, "My boy, I have some coffee from Honduras that's got your name on it!" "But you don't even know my name.""Oskar and Mr. Black
"I did not feel that he owed it to me. And I did not feel that I owed it to him. We owed it to each other, which is something different."Grandma
"It was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn't think about my life at all."Grandfather
"The books had been buried, so I hid this time behind a group of trees, I imagined their roots wrapped around books, pulling nourishment from the pages, I imagined rings of letters in their trunks"Grandfather
"That secret was a hole in the middle of me that every happy thing fell into."Oskar Schell about the hidden answering machine
"Everything that's born has to die, which means our lives our like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they're all on fire, and we're all trapped."Oskar
"I made a difference, I am God (Thomas) you're an atheist, (Oskar) I don't exist."Oskar

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Annenberg Space for Photography today announced the initial lineup of speakers for their popular Iris Nights lecture series presented in conjunction with the exhibit The Power of Photography: National Geographic 125 Years.
The series brings to life the most current exhibit, giving attendees unique access to the artists in an intimate setting. The series kicks off with a special Saturday presentation by Michael "Nick" Nichols.

Additional Iris Nights lectures scheduled for 2014 will be announced in December. All Iris Nights lectures are free to the public.
The Power of Photography: National Geographic 125 Years celebrates the 125 year anniversary of National Geographic magazine. The exhibit offers photography from a wide range of genres and themes--from iconic images to portraits; landscapes to natural history, and more.
In addition to more than 500 prints, the exhibit will present two documentary films commissioned by the Annenberg Foundation from Arclight Productions: The Power of Photography: Beyond the Image, which profiles six renowned photographers whose work appears in National Geographic's anniversary issue; and a short film about the making of the exhibit. The Photography Space will also offer short videos by National Geographic, which include photographer interviews and on-assignment vignettes.
The exhibit opens free to the public in Los Angeles, on October 26, 2013 through April 27, 2014. Some photographs contain graphic imagery, and may not be suitable for all visitors.
All Iris Nights lectures will take place on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm-8pm at the Annenberg Space for Photography Skylight Studios.
