Lakeland has no shortage of beautiful natural scenery, but it takes a keen eye like photographer Andy Glogower's to capture it on camera. His first gallery exhibit is set to open on Thursday, June 27 at the Mulberry Cultural Center (103 E. Canal Street, Mulberry).

Glogower got his start shooting his daughter's dance recitals at Harrison School for the Arts. In just a few years' time, he's now a published photographer (you'll see many of his shots in The Lakelander) and an international award winner — he won the bronze medal for Team United States in the 2023 World Photographic Cup.
