Anything But Cats – An African Photographic Adventure

 at the Troy Public Library

 

 

(Troy) - William Cowger of Acacia Photography in Troy, Michigan, is proud to announce a visual adventure of wildlife photography that will run from January 2nd - January 31, 2010 at the Troy Public Library, 510 W. Big Beaver in Troy.  The 'Anything But Cats' exhibit is sure to whet the appetite of the most savvy wildlife, travel & photography enthusiast.

 

Whether attending this exhibit due to interest in the world-renowned Serengeti photo safaris and workshops Mr. Cowger conducts each year in the Serengeti in Tanzania, or to experience the next best choice -- immersing yourself in your own world of exclusive photographs of the daily struggle for survival of the fittest -- you are in for a rewarding experience. The beautiful animals that inhabit this healthiest eco-system in the world will be featured for your viewing pleasure.

 

'Anything But Cats' features the unheralded mammals and amazing bird life of the Serengeti ecosystem. Since the cats of Africa get more press and attention than all the rest of the animals combined, a show highlighting the myriad of wild animals without whom the cats could not survive, seems overdue.  The show includes 'survival of the fittest' challenges for antelope, elephants, giraffes, and zebras in addition to may beautiful wildlife portraits.

 

Consider this exhibit an extended holiday gift for the eyes from Mr. Cowger to you and your family! Get the feel of the adventure of a lifetime - maybe to the point of deciding to actually go on safari and experience firsthand Mr. Cowger’s thrilling photo safaris and workshops (held several times each year). Be sure to ask for details or view them for yourself at Mr. Cowger’s website: www.ThePhotoSafari.com   

 

The Meet the Artist Reception takes place Sunday, January 17th, 2008 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Troy Public Library. During this event, Mr. Cowger will present a continuous running slideshow and will be on hand to answer any and all questions you many have regarding his African trip of a lifetime.

 

All month long, donations and school supplies will be thankfully accepted to assist children in need in the town of Usa River, Tanzania.  Mr. Cowger, as well as many travelers who have been on his safaris, have raised enough money to support and refurbish an entire elementary school in Africa. They have shipped1600 lbs. of school supplies thus far for their worthy cause. This aid program is being administered by the Troy Rotary Foundation. Mr. Cowger is a member of the Professional Photographers of America and Professional Photographers of Michigan, as well as a long standing member of The Troy and Birmingham/Bloomfield Chambers of Commerce.
