Make the Holiday’s Happy!

Need to get some late shopping done? Well how about ordering a signed copy of one of my books – great gifts! You can choose from my first book The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes which chronicles the journey of the Corps of Discovery like you were with them. The images were done at the same time of year the expedition past by these places and words for the journals of Merriweather Lewis and William Clark alongside many of the images describing what you are seeing. There is also a Limited Edition version of the book which includes three fine art prints!

In The Beginning…

Well, blogs are all the rage now, especially in the publishing world, where it is said, “if you don’t have a blog you can not hope to make it”, or something very close to that effect. 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
