New The Sweetwater Seas Note Cards!

Quiet Light Publishing is proud to announce the release of two new sets of fine art note cards from Richard Mack as part of his The Sweetwater Seas project. The Sweetwater Seas is a documentary film about the Great Lakes and will also be a companion book published by Quiet Light Publishing.

These fine art note cards come from his extensive collection of images he has done so far on the project. The first set includes 6 images (2 cards each) from Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. The second set includes winter images from the Lake Michigan and Superior as well as Niagara Falls.

These make great gift ideas for the holidays. While more often than not we tend to text or email there are times you want to actually write a note to someone and these beautiful note cards provide you an excellent way to do just that.

You can purchase them in the Quiet Light Publishing shop by following this link:

Time to think Holiday Shopping

It’s that time of year again to think about gifts you want to give or even receive! These three fine art coffee table books by Photographer’s Richard Mack and Stephen Azzato are great ideas! Shop Now!

Richard Mack’s two books are wonderful additions for those who love our National Parks and history. The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes covers the trail of the Corps of Discovery at the same time of year as the Corps passed through an area giving you a look at what they might have seen. It includes quotes from the journals of Lewis and Clark. It is also available in a Limited Edition which comes in a slipcase and includes three prints one from each year they were on the trail.

Richard’s second book Great Smoky Mountains National Park Thirty Year’s of American Landscapes is from his photograph’s of Great Smoky Mountains National Park our most visited park. Those in the park have said this is the finest book on the park.

“Richard has a sensitivity for light that’s pretty rare. He can coax a richness out of landscapes and low light conditions that you don’t see other photographers experiment with. His photographs have an emotional depth that is superior to a lot of other work. It’s the best large format photography book we’ve ever been able to offer our visitors.”– Steve Kemp

Stephen Azzato’s book Their Love of Music is a beautiful book which showcases 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.

Each of these books have won numerous photography, design and printing industry and national book awards. They make great gifts! Shop Now!

Quiet Light Publishing Website & Shop Have New Work!

Tuscany Hills by Jill Buckner & Richard Mack

This week we have rolled out the new Quiet Light Publishing website and store! On the main page we talk not only about the books we offer from Stephen Azzato, Their Love of Music, or my two books, The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes and Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Thirty Years of American Landscapes, but we talk about new projects in the works and a new photographer, Jill Buckner whose work we carry!

Quiet Light Publishing is pleased to announce that award winning photographer Jill Buckner, based in Atlanta and Chicago, is now part of the talent here with Fine Art Prints available online and a possibility of a book. She has been a commercial photographer for close to 30 years specializing in architectural photography, lifestyle photography for advertising clients and portraits of executives and families across the country. Her fine art work includes beautiful Black & White images of baby parts. She is also an accomplished landscape/cityscape photographer. Her work can be seen in the Quiet Light shop.

Jill and I teamed up on two assignments this spring in Italy and Morocco and found it was more than just two assignments but a new project Two Photographers | One Vision. We travelled on assignment to Italy and Morocco to capture the beauty of these places. In Italy we were working for a tourism company and in Morocco on a possible book whose working title is Treasures of Morocco: A Sensual Feast of Color. It is seldom two photographers can work seamlessly together and create one body of work with cohesiveness such as this. We could be blocks apart and yet we knew the type of shot the other was doing so we would not duplicate each other. We honestly do not know which one of us shot which image for the most part. The fine art prints will be signed by both us! An eBook on the project and gallery openings are in the works for Two Photographers | One Vision. See more on the Quiet Light website under Two Photographers. Prints are available from Quiet Light Publishing.

I have had to put off the work on the Great Lakes Project, a book in the works detailing all five of the Great Lakes, currently titled Twenty|Ninety-Five: The Great Lakes Landscapes. Yet this fall I am planning to get back to it. It was put off because of injuries I received after being hit by a car in February the day before I planned to hit the road and circle Lake Superior for a winter trip. A long summer not being on that trail. You can see more about it on the Quiet Light Publishing website on the Great Lakes Project page including buying Fine Art Prints from the project in are shop.

The Quiet Light Publishing store has undergone a big change with all work now in Categories, such as one for each of the three books, the current project on the Great Lakes and Two Photographers | One Vision. The categories contain anything related to each project specifically from books to prints to notecards.  You can also scroll through areas for Fine Art Prints by Collections. Take a look and let us know what you think!   Time to start thinking of your holiday gift giving!

Cheers,
