Renowned architectural photographer, Mike Torrey, will be at Warwick's on Thursday, June 11 at 7:30pm for a discussion, signing, and slide show for his book, Stone Offerings: Macchu Picchu's Terraces of Enlightenment.

In June of 2007, Mike Torrey, an accomplished architectural photographer, received an offer that would fulfill a life-long dream: to travel to Machu Picchu at the solstice.  For three days and four more during a subsequent trip during the December solstice, Torrey processed this life-affecting experience in the only way he knew - through the lens of his camera.  The result is a collection of breathtaking photographs that capture at once the wonder and the universal and timeless significance of this rare and inspiring place.  With hardly any visitors evident, these photographs appraise the artistry of the man-made celebrating the natural, as well as the mystery of how, why, when this magical place was constructed. Together with a passionate and sweeping introduction - appearing in both English and Spanish - by Peruvian born author Marie Arana, Stone Offerings reveals the inspirational essence of this architectural and archeological wonder.
