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 truly shaped me into 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 realized 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 and respect.
Washington Wide is my answer to that. It is the first 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 two decades 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 specifically calibrated for offset printing.
The book will be produced as a large-format, limited-edition hardcover — printed on heavy coated art paper. This is not a coffee-table book filled with text. The images do the talking.
Washington Wide represents over 30 years of work in the field. It is my first solo book, and it is the project everything else has been building toward.
The book is currently in production, with a release planned for fall 2026.
