After lunch, award-winning photographer, Joe Parisi, gave a presentation on his world travels. In images, Joe took us to Deception Island in Antarctica to see penguins up close and personal and other wildlife around Whalers Bay, where there was a Norwegian whaling station from 1912-1931. Joe visited Cuba on a cultural exchange and photographed once-grand buildings and homes in Havana, as well as vintage American cars repurposed as taxi cabs. Joe went to two game reserves in Africa and to the Galapagos Islands, where boobies, both blue and red-footed, abound. Joe climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. It was no easy feat, and Joe undertook a fitness program beforehand in order to be able to make the 5-7 day trek up the mountain. Of course, he made it to the top and photographed the different ecosystems on his way up. We admired all of Joe’s photos, but we also enjoyed the narratives of his adventures.
