FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE:
William Cowger /
ThePhotoSafari.com announces the opening of the
African Adventure in Troy exhibit at the Troy Public Library in January
2012. The month-long exhibit will be celebrated with a Meet the
Photographer Opening Reception on Sunday, January 8th, 2012, from 2PM - 5PM.
The photo exhibit will be available for viewing from January 3rd - January 31st.
Featured in the November 2011 issue of Popular
Photography magazine, Mr. Cowger's photo safaris & workshops, deliver on
that 'bucket list' for wildlife observers as well as the most avid photography
enthusiasts. Mr. Cowger will share the story of the animals' daily struggle for
survival in the healthiest eco-system on the planet that is now under seige by
development. Having thrived to provide a home to a million more
large mammals today than in 1960, the Serengeti's wealth of wildlife vividly
epitomizes the circle of life as it provides sustenance to arguably the largest
cat population on earth. Through Mr. Cowger's lens, observers will see
firsthand what it feels like to be totally surrounded by large herds of
elephants; so vividly realistic, the photos will engage all your senses as
though you are seeing, smelling and hearing the animals from the plains of the
Serengeti.
"I love introducing people to the wonders of Africa," says
Cowger. "It's not nearly as scary or as dangerous as the media makes it
out to be." Indeed, Cowger finds the behaviors of the big cats of Africa
charmingly similar to our familiar house cats.
Cowger's multi-media narrative presentation will take you on
a 12-day safari through the awesome beauty of the Tanzanian landscape, from
villages to archeological sites. Dubbing the safari experience the
"greatest natural show on earth," Cowger's 45 minute presentation of his
photographs will conclude with an opportunity to talk to him personally about
his travels, photography and tour opportunities. Three times a year or
more, Cowger takes others to experience the wonders of Africa on "life-changing"
adventures. His safari tours have been profiled in Popular Photography
Magazine, the Detroit Free Press, Troy Times, Somerset Gazette and most recently
in Troy Patch
Safari .
In addition to leading other enthusiasts on photo safaris,
Mr. Cowger has worked to raise enough money over the years to refurbish and
support an entire elementary school in the town of the Usa
River, Tanzania. With the financial assistance, the children have
been provided classrooms, sanitation stations and other improvements to aid in
their education environment.
During the month-long exhibit, donations will be gratefully accepted to assist
the children in the town
of the Usa River, Tanzania via the Troy Rotary Foundation.
