“African Journal,” by Nancy Lamb, will be on exhibit Sunday, March 7, though Thursday, April 1. Massachusetts-based Lamb specializes in nature photography and says that her goal is to capture the beauty of the natural world. She has won awards from international salons, the Photographic Society of America and the New England Council of Camera Clubs and has exhibited in Europe and on the Eastern seaboard. Her slide presentation, to be made on Sunday, March 7, at 2 p.m., is set to the music from “The Lion King” and is a photographic safari through African game reserves and animal parks that explores the beauty as well as the challenges of the regions in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. There will be a question-and-answer period.

Award-winning New Jersey photographer Vinne Kempf’s “Italy” will be shown from Sunday, April 4, though Sunday, May 9. Kempf judges international and local photography competitions, conducts photographic workshops and teaches digital manipulation of images. He travels extensively in pursuit of his photographic interests — New Zealand, Denmark, France, Germany, Argentina, Costa Rica, the Falkland Islands and various locations in Canada, the United States and Africa. His presentation, a multi-projector slide show with music, begins in Florence, moves through a number of small towns and scenic places in Tuscany and ends in Venice. He characterizes the show as “... a 45-minute trip to one of the greatest places in the world.” It will be on Sunday, April 11, at 2 p.m.

The series concludes with the “American Southwest,” by Philip Echo, on Sunday, May 16, though Sunday, June 20. Echo is the past president of the Tri-County Camera Club and three-time winner of the New Jersey Federation of Camera Clubs’ “Nature Slide of the Year” award. He has garnered multiple medals in pictorial and nature competitions. Trips to the American Southwest inspired him to produce a series of photographs capturing the magnificence of this region. On Sunday, May 16, at 2 p.m., his presentation will be a multi-projector display of the diverse regions of Central California, Southeastern Utah, Arizona and Southwestern Colorado. As the images dissolve in and out on the screen, music representative of the flavor of each region will be played.
