New Book and Magazine Published Featuring Nature and Landscape Photography

My most recent release via the Blurb.com bookstore - "Renewal," featuring spring photography of landscapes in both Hocking Hills State Park of Ohio and Great Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee. This volume is available in both softcover and hardcover formats as an 8"x10" coffee-table style book, perfect for office lobbies or home. In addition to presenting stunning nature and landscape photographs from these scenic areas of Appalachia the book also includes an introspective essay titled "Life's Lessons Learned on the Trail to Ramsay Cascade." This was an article I drafted shortly after my May excursion to The Smokies and provides some insight on how life experiences are often paralleled in the most simple journeys through the natural landscape. The price for the soft-cover version is $29.95, not including shipping.



I'm also pleased to announce the first issue of what I hope to become a regular series of self-published magazines, titled "The Poet's Eye." This 24-page, 8.5x11 publication includes a brief introduction about the work presented and select images representing a particular subject, location or photographic technique. This, the first issue, features my recent work with converting high dynamic range photographs to monochrome - black and white - fine art images. The cost per issue is $7.84.
