Join Ken Conger, author and photographer, as he presents a program on his book, "Wildlife's Greatest Connection: A Mother and Her Young," at the newly renovated Ginter Park Library (1200 Westbrook Avenue, Richmond, VA) on Wednesday, July 20th, starting at 6:00pm. Conger will have books available for purchase and signing at this free event. Light refreshments will be provided.
Throughout his life, award-winning wildlife photographer Ken Conger has visited dozens of national parks and wildlife refuges, documenting the candid behaviors of wildlife in their natural habitats. Over the course of his long career in wildlife protection and conservation, he’s witnessed thousands of interactions between animals of all species—but no type of interaction has been as memorable as that which occurs between mothers and their offspring. Now, he invites you to share in the experience of these fascinating moments from behind his camera lens. Using photographic techniques perfected over his forty years in the field, Conger has brought together a compilation of stunning images celebrating the diversity of the special bond that forms between mothers and their young across the animal kingdom. This collection, which features more than 100 high-quality, full-color photos, will take you from the jungles of Indonesia to the coasts of Patagonia, from the plains of the Maasai Mara to Conger’s own ‘backyard’ of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
