Famed photographer Paul Mobley will visit NAU on Thursday as part of a national book tour. New York City-based Mobley is behind the images in the top-selling photography book "American Farmer: Portraits from the Heartland." He was recently featured on the Martha Stewart Show with several of the farmers featured in the book.

He will be a guest of the School of Communication and the photojournalism group PJ/One. His presentation will be at 6 p.m., at the School of Forestry auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.

Classes, which are regularly $100 for the public, will be only $25 for Pit Bull breeds. For every Pit Bull and Pit mix that passes the Canine Good Citizen test, SCCA will be awarded a $150 grant from the Animal Farm Foundation. Classes start Saturday.
