Wild Light 2 is now available!
I'm pleased to announce that my latest edition of Wild Light is now available. I've spent numerous years getting the photos for this new edtion and I think you are going to really like it.
Wild Light is a hardcover coffee table book that celebrates the magnificence of Rocky Mountain National Park. I first released ths book in 2014 as part of the 100th anniversary celebration of Rocky Mountain National Park. It went on to win an award from the Independent Book Publisher's Association for best environmental book of the year and it received a silver award in the coffee table book category. In these last 9 years, my photography and publishing skills have really grown, so I've completely redone this book to make it better than ever. This edition features 168 new photos, a fresh design, updated content, new maps, and additional pages that showcase the park's diverse and majestic landscapes.
Wild Light is more than just a book; it is a visual journey that will transport you to the heart of Rocky Mountain National Park and make you feel like a part of this lofty terrain. My images are characterized by the vibrant hues and textures found during early morning and evening light. They feature lofty, untamed mountains, color-drenched wildflower meadows, crashing streams, and glassy alpine lakes. This beautiful work reflects my passion for the park and a deep understanding of the ebb and flow of the seasons and of the flora and fauna of this rugged and dramatic landscape.
My photos are accompanied by my writing which I hope is both educational and thought provoking. I am to not only inform you, but also inspire you to care about our wild places.
You can purchase a copy from my Rocky Trail Press website.
