Just Published | In the Peace of This Place

Finally finished and uploaded my newest book to my bookstore on Blurb.com. "In the Peace of This Place" is a 40-page, full color volume featuring nature and landscape images I've captured during all four seasons in Hocking Hills State Park of Southeastern Ohio and at The Inn at Cedar Falls. The book also features my own narrative on why this area is so special to me as a visual artist and why I continue to return, year after year, season after season. The eBook version will be available very soon.

Via Flickr:
This set contains my personal favorites from 2011. These images are not necessarily those that everyone else likes but represent scenes and subjects that carry a deep personal meaning and memory for me. I've also presented many of these images within the Blurb mobile app whereby I've included audio commentary for each photograph @ www.blurb.com/mobile/show/03cdd86c4. The locations for these images include Sugarcreek MetroPark near Dayton, Ohio; Hocking Hills State Park, Ohio; Tampa, Florida and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
