Washington Wide Book
A Panoramic Journey Through Washington's Landscapes
As a boy I was surrounded by the lush temperate forests of Western Washington and spent the majority of my time out in them. Exploring, foraging, and camping are vivid memories that shaped who I am today. My college years were spent in Pullman, in the heart of the Palouse — an incredible contrast to where I had grown up, and equally majestic.
Over the years I noticed that most landscape photography books of Washington State focus on the Cascades and the coast. Everything east of the range is treated as an afterthought, if it's included at all. But Washington doesn't end at the summit. The Palouse wheat fields, the basalt canyons of the Columbia Plateau, the dry pine forests of the Okanogan, the alpine meadows of the Blue Mountains — these are Washington too, and they deserve the same attention.
Washington Wide is my answer to that. It is a comprehensive panoramic portrait of Washington State — coastline to canyon, rainforest to rolling farmland, volcanic peak to desert scabland — captured entirely on film over more than thirty years of fieldwork.
Every image in the book was made on Fujichrome Velvia 50 transparency film using panoramic cameras — primarily the Noblex 135U and the Hasselblad XPan II. The original transparencies were drum-scanned by Michael Strickland on a Heidelberg Tango scanner, producing 16-bit files that preserve the full tonal depth and color fidelity of the original film. From there, each image has been prepared through a precision color-managed workflow calibrated for offset printing.
The book is a hardcover with a full-color dust jacket, 172 pages. The foreword is by Randy Lewis, a Colville elder and storyteller.
Washington Wide represents more than thirty years of work in the field, and it is my first book.
The book is in production now, with a release planned for October 2026. It's available to pre-order below — $59.99, hardcover with a full-color dust jacket, shipping October 2026.
