An award-winning photographer who spent two years documenting the Colorado River will discuss his work at a Library Live event at the Central Library on Thursday.

Peter McBride has worked as a photographer for nearly 20 years in more than 60 countries, according to a statement from the Newport Beach Public Library Foundation.

“McBride’s most recent project took over two years, documenting his local river – the Colorado. One of the most loved and litigated rivers in the world, it ceases to reach the sea,” the statement said.

The event will run from 7 to 8 p.m. at the library at 1000 Avocado Ave. The event is free, but a $10 donation is suggested for the Newport Beach Public Library Foundation. There will be books for sale, and a book signing opportunity.

McBride’s work has been published in publications throughout the world including Esquire, The Smithsonian and the Washington Post.

For more information, call (949) 548-2411.

Library Live sponsors library visits from authors, historians, artists and critics. It was formed in 1995.
