The temperature is rising and has led many of us to ask whether winter in Arizona is a "Truth or Hoax." The Center for Creative Photography poses the same question in relation to the possible faking of archaeology with the opening of David Soren's talk at 5:30 p.m. Soren asks his audience to question the validity of natural history as represented in archaeology, art, dance and film. The discussion will take place at CCP located near Park Ave. and Speedway Blvd. Any further questions can be answered by CCP staff at 621-7968.
