Special Event: NYUPS Presents Emory Kristof

NYUPS is proud to present “20,000 Bytes Under The Sea”, a special presentation by legendary National Geographic photographer and IMAX filmmaker, Emory Kristof.

Emory Kristof has been a National Geographic photographer ever since working for the magazine as an intern in 1963. The discovery of new life forms around volcanic vents, huge deep-dwelling sharks a mile down, shipwrecks such as the Titanic, Bismarck, and Edmund Fitzgerald have been covered by Emory Kristof in the pages and videos of the National Geographic. He teamed with Stephen Low Productions to do the IMAX Film “Volcanoes of the Deep Sea.” For over 30 years, submersibles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVS) have given him the access. His innovative photography uncovers the heretofore-unexplored worlds of deep-sea animals. In a presentation for NYUPS, illustrated with spectacular underwater imagery, Kristof will recount the challenges and solutions encountered in bringing back striking images from miles down in the world’s oceans.

After the presentation, we will be hosting a complimentary wine and cheese networking reception.
