If it is summer in Evanston it means hitting the beach! And to commemorate this you can now get my new poster of 15 images from Lighthouse Beach. These images were done over a number of years as part of the Great Lakes Project and show’s the moods of all four seasons.

As part of this project I have spent a lot of time at Lighthouse Beach for many reasons. One, I live about a mile away and have been going to this beach since I was a kid. So for me there is a lot of emotional connection to this beach. It is where I have played as a kid, played with my kids and spent many hours alone looking out over the water. And for the last 30+ years have seen it through a photographer’s eye. The old pier, just to the north of the beach has provided many opportunities for images. Sometimes I am there at dusk alone, other times I might join another photographer or two shooting there as well. It has become a popular spot.

If you’ve been following this blog you know I have been trying to get a shot of the full moonrise with the pier in the frame. To date it has eluded me. Someday I shall prevail, I hope, and get the shot – which is so perfect in my head. Stay tuned.

In the meantime if you are a fan of the beaches around Chicago, and especially in Evanston or even Lighthouse Beach then you need this poster! Purchase it online at www.quietlightpublishing.com for only $45.00! The poster is 24”x36” and is printed on archival paper – the same as my fine art prints.

Enjoy!

Quiet Light Publishing is pleased to announce the first set of Limited Edition Fine Art Prints from the collection Their Love of Music by photographer Stephen Azzato. These prints are from his book of the same name, have the artist’s portrait and quote from the book. Each is signed by both the musician and Stephen. The editions are limited to 50 prints of each one. They are 17×22′ on Epson archival fine art matte paper and printed using archival inks. Each print will last well over 100 years. The starting price is $450.00 and will rise as the edition sells out. 

Quiet Light Publishing brings you fine art prints made to the exacting standards of our photographer’s. It is their vision and eye which is the final say in our process. Each of these prints are released unmated and are ready to frame. Each comes with a Limited Edition Stamp and certificate, signed and numbered accordingly.  

These are for the true collectors of the arts, whether those that love music or photography. We hope you enjoy them! We will be adding more artists as their schedules permit so check back often. These can still be shipped in time for the holidays! And remember, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these prints goes to the Susan G. Komen Cancer Research Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

For more on these prints please visit the Quiet Light Publishing Gallery.

Let’s face it – there are always a lot of choices one can make when shopping for gifts over the holidays, so why then do we always ask ourselves, “Now what can I possibly get for…”

Well look no further as this year you can give the BEST GIFT OF CHRISTMAS (or any other Holiday you may be celebrating!) The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes! Many of folks who have bought the book as a gift before come back and buy more just because it was such a great gift the first time. So get one for the traveler, photographer, historian, nature lover or Lewis & Clark buff on your list this year. We’ve been told by many folks, once this book hits their coffee table, it stays right there. What could be a better endorsement! Or for the ultimate gift give the Limited Edition of the book, which comes in a Leather Slipcase and includes Three Fine Art Prints.

And of course if you don’t want to give a book, look at our Note Cards, Posters or Fine Art Prints. Or for the photographer on your list how about a spot in one of our Nature Photography Workshops?

Why fight the crowds at the mall for yet another tie or pair of socks…Check out the better options at Quiet Light Publishing!

In the newsletter I talked about how we now have many images online in the Gallery section, both from the Lewis & Clark Trail AMERICAN LANDSCAPES book and one I am currently working on based on 30 years of photography in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You can view the images online at our Gallery – www.quietlightpublishing.com/shop/Gallery.htm.

I also have several Triptych’s available. It is a format which is very interesting to produce, because it takes some time to find three images which are great together. But the results are a very stunning pieces. They’ve been placed in homes, offices and public spaces all over. It is always a thrill to see them displayed somewhere.I hope you’ll enjoy the eNewsletter and check out our Gallery Pages!

Peace,
