On Sunday, April 21, Joel Sartore, a photographer, speaker, author, teacher, and a 20-year contributor to National Geographic<\/em> magazine, will captivate the crowd with his humorously powerful conservation messages and award winning photography of wildlife and the places they inhabit.<\/p>\n

Sartore visually delivers his unique experiences at Van Wert\u2019s Niswonger Performing Arts Center of Northwest Ohio for one show that begins at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

Sartore\u2019s first National Geographic<\/em> assignments opened up doors for him to photograph nature\u2019s beauty, and also allowed him to see first-hand the impact humans have on the environment. As a child, the photographer became very interested in nature after learning about the very last passenger pigeon from one of his mother\u2019s Time-Life picture books.<\/p>\n

Since then, Sartore has been intrigued by the vast variety of species such as wolves, grizzlies, musk oxen, lions, elephants and polar bears. Not only does he work for National Geographic<\/em>, but Sartore has contributed to Audubon Magazine<\/em>, Geo, Time<\/em>, Life<\/em>, Newsweek<\/em>, Sports Illustrated<\/em> and numerous book projects.<\/p>\n

Sartore and his photo work have been the subjects of several national broadcasts, including \u201cNational Geographic\u2019s Explorer\u201d, the \u201cNBC Nightly News\u201d, NPR\u2019s \u201cWeekend Edition\u201d and an hour-long PBS documentary, \u201cAt Close Range\u201d. He is also a contributor on the CBS \u201cSunday Morning Show\u201d with Charles Osgood.<\/p>\n

Sartore will give the audience the experience of a lifetime as he shares his own personal adventures. From the steamy Amazon to the high Arctic, the photographer shares a lively, intimate and humorous look at what could be the best — and worst — job in the world, as he plays expedition leader, psychologist, medic, accountant, and coach, as well as photographer. It\u2019s all just another day at the office on assignment for National Geographic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the April 21 show are $10 for students and $20 for adults. The lecture series is sponsored in part by Paulding Putnam Electric Cooperative, Walmart, and Midwest Electric Inc.<\/p>\n

Tickets are available at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center box office, 10700 State Route 118 in Van Wert, Monday through Friday, from noon-4 p.m., or by phone at 419.238.6722 (NPAC) or online 24\/7 at www.npacvw.org<\/a> or the Niswonger Performing Arts Center of NW Ohio Facebook page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
