Does your dad like history, the outdoors, our national parks, music, photography? Then we have the perfect gift! Quiet Light Publishing specializes in fine photography books. Choose anyone of our books and you’ll receive 25% off the price!  

We have a book The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes for those interested in history and nature. Richard Mack travelled the trail at the same time of year as the expedition did in order to bring to life the images of the trail as the expedition would have seen them in the 1800’s. This book has won 7 book awards including a Silver Medal in the International Photography Awards for Best Nature Book. 

Want to give him a travel idea? How about a trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park? Richard’s second book was a collection of images taken over his thirty years of travelling to the park. Our most visited national park, this book has also won a half dozen awards including a Gold Medal from the Association of Partners for Public Lands 2011, Non-Partner Published Works. And just last week was recognized by the International Book Awards with yet another Gold Medal for Best Nature Photography Book. Why wouldn’t dad love this? 

And if that weren’t enough we have Steve Azzato’s book, Their Love of Music, which captures 117 different musicians in an intimate portrait before they took to the stage with each portrait paired with one simple quote on why the artist loves playing night after night. This is a must have for any lover of photography or music or both! And yes this book to has won a few awards recently with the International Book Awards bestowing a Gold Medal for Best Photography Book – People. It also just last week won the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Cover Design.

Already have these three books? No problem, check out our website for prints, note cards and posters. Surely you can find something deserving for your father! Don’t wait to long though as we ship FedEx Ground and it may take a few days…we do offer overnight shipping but as you can guess that is more you’ll have to spend on dad! Go ahead click on the shopping cart above and enjoy shopping! 

Cheers,
Quiet Light Publishing

Well, I certainly expected to be better at keeping these posts up better. But time slips away in these busy times. Lately we have been working on getting the first editions of the Limited Edition of The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes books shipped to those who have purchased them recently. Since each one is put together by hand, and includes three prints from the book which are carefully printed to my exacting standards it takes awhile to put each one together. For more info on the Limited Edition please check the Quiet Light Publishing website!

We are also working again with Abbott Molecular on more corporate fine art for a newly renovated space of theirs. We’ll talk more about that in the future!

In the future I intend to post a “Photo of the Week”. That seems reasonable to me at this time, although when we are out shooting I am sometimes out of web contact, so then I will have trouble posting them. Although I hope to post a few shots from my shoot in Portugal and France in late April and early May – so watch for new postings!

That’s all for now.

Peace, Richard.

Now I don’t believe anyone cares about what I eat for lunch on any particular day, so that kind of thing I won’t write about. Instead i will try to answer some of the typical questions I get during my lectures I have done about my book, The Lewis and Clark Trail American Landscapes. They pertain to photogrpahy questions like digital versus film, what do you use to make your prints, travel questions like during your travels what did you do as far as hotels or camping along the trail, how did you decide to do a book at all and what pitfalls did you encounter.

So our subjects will range from travelling to various places with a bend toward best places to photograph, as if there really is a best place, to the technical side of photography. We’ll also be talking about the publishing industry and how you can either publish your own books, or find a publisher for your book. There is much to learn about that alone! And having been through it now for the last two years with this book, I know at least a bit more than before and can talk about the pitfalls and highs of publishing.

This should be an interesting trip and I hope we’ll all have a lot to say! I look forward to hearing from people about the book, interesting places you have been and other insights!

And now we begin…

Peace,
Richard Mack
