Wings, Wonders and Wonderscapes
PHOTO BY ANDY GLOGOWER
There is beauty everywhere. From diverse ecosystems to scenic views to the stunning artistry of wildlife at a macro level.
And world renown local photographer Andy Glogower cannot wait to share candid shots that prove this, from as close as our proverbial backyard and from places across five continents, when his “Wings, Wonders and Wonderscapes” exhibit opens at The Mulberry Cultural Center on June 27.
“What I want people to come away with is just there’s beauty everywhere—from wildlife to scenic places. And I want to give people a hope and desire to travel to some of the places my wife and I have had the gift to go to,” says Glogower, who earned a bronze medal for Team USA in the 2023 World Photographic Cup.
One of the centerpieces of the exhibit will be “Huey, Dewey and Louie,” a stunning photograph of three owlets he captured in Seffner. That photo (highlighted on this page) is also going to be on display at Tampa International Airport from June 26 to August 25 as an honor for taking home 1st place in the Nature/Science/Animals category of the 2024 Florida Museum of Photographic Arts competition.
His local exhibit will feature several dozen photos, and Glogower joked in mid-June that he had “curated 25 down to about 50” as he attempted to whittle down the prints to an intentional number.
The exhibit will run through August 9, beginning with an opening reception on June 27 from 5 to 7 p.m. that will include refreshments and opportunity for attendees to mingle with and hear from Glogower.
One of his friends, Rob Beaudreault, put together poems to present alongside three of the pieces that will be on display. Similarly, one of the photos that will be on display was actually inspired by a short story written by a student at Harrison School for the Arts.
