Gary Westerhoff, Nature Photographer, To Exhibit at Bernardsville Library

Acclaimed photographer Gary Westerhoff will exhibit a selection of his favorite landscape and wildlife photographs, taken over the past decade throughout North America, at Bernardsville Public Library from June 1 through June 24, 2015. Many of the photographs being exhibited have won awards in various judged nature competitions and have been published in his numerous nature books.

His wildlife photographs have been praised for the intimate and emotional portrayal of wolves, coyotes, mountain lion, deer, grizzly bear, fox and other animal and birds. The show also will feature images from Mt. Rainier, Olympic, Redwood, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Lake Clark (Alaska), Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia and Everglades National Parks, White Sands and Bosque del Apache National Refuges as well as western North Dakota, northern Minnesota, and northern New England.

Mr. Westerhoff is a licensed Professional Environmental Engineer and Professional Planner and a national expert on drinking water. Prior to retirement, he provided consulting services to major drinking water utilities throughout the United States and was a professional commercial photographer.

Over more than five decades he has developed a passion for outdoor adventures. This passion combines fly fishing for trout and salmon with landscape and wildlife nature photography across North America, Canada, Central America and South America. Many of Mr. Westerhoff’s wildlife images catch the individual characteristics and habits of the animals and their relationship with the environment in which they live. He lives in Chester, New Jersey.

This exhibition will be on view in the library’s Community Room during regular library hours unless a meeting is in progress. For further information, please call the library at 908-766-0118.
