Marty Essen Presentation

Nationally known nature photographer, author and speaker Marty Essen will be at Piedmont College Oct. 6 to present a talk on his worldwide photography adventures. The event is free and everyone is invited.
The 7 p.m. presentation in the Arrendale Amphitheater is a high-energy digital slide show titled “Around the World in 90 Minutes,” during which Essen will talk about the three-year trip he and his wife made to seven continents to produce his award-winning book, “Cool Creatures, Hot Planet.”
Essen’s talk will feature interesting facts, humorous stories, and the best of thousands of
photos he took while traveling the world for his book. “It's the type of show where the audience has fun laughing at the stories, oohing and aahing at the photos, and then, when it's all done, they realize just how much they've learned,” said Piedmont Dean of Students Drew Davis.
“Around the World in 90 Minutes” began as a show Marty presented in bookstores as part of his first book tour. Later, after numerous refinements, the show took on a life of its own
at colleges, museums, and nature centers across the United States. It has been rated a number one lecture on college campuses for 18 months straight.
