Here is a short trailer for the new book Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Five Decades of American Landscapes which will be in our hands shortly! After 10 years of not changing anything in this best selling book in Great Smoky Mountains National Park stores I thought it would be good to change up this third printing by adding new work. I’ve added 55 new images and redesigned which images are where in the the book. The printing by ArtBookPrinting who worked with us on this version. The print quality is the best I’ve experienced! Each image has more detail than beofre, I went through each image in Lightroom/Photoshop and pulled out more details than before which the presses could now handle.
I also want to thank my designer Rich Nickel, John Manos for editing the copy and of course Steve Kemp for writing the foreword and chapter pieces. A book like this is truely a work of collaboration! Thank you to all who worked with me on this book.

“The ultimate photo book of Great Smoky Mountains
National Park. If you love the Smokies, you need this book on your coffee
table. It’s the ultimate photo tribute to the park. It’s all here: landscapes,
flora, fauna, four seasons of glorious nature.”, Great Smoky Mountains
National Park website.
In Their Love of Music photographer Steve Azzato has
captured the essence of the creative spirit in the faces and words of the
musicians themselves. Featuring portraits of 117 artists, the book takes a
slightly different approach to music photography than typically seen. “The
beauty of this project for me was being able to sit with a huge range of
musicians and explore what drew them to their art”, says Azzato. “I was able to
hear it in their voices and record it visually in their images”. In the simple
quiet of a green room, without the crowds or bandmates or tour managers,
Azzato’s photographs transcend the chaos of the stage and the intensity of the
studio to reveal the inner spirit that drives each of his subjects. Winner
of the International Book Award for Photography – People. ISBN:
