Washington Wide Joins WSU Libraries' Rare Book Room

8/24/2026

Washington Wide has been accepted into the Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections — added to the rare book room.

It's a natural home for it. Thirty years spent photographing this state on panoramic film belongs alongside WSU's own record of Washington's land and history, preserved for researchers and readers who want more than a passing look. It's also a fitting return: I earned my degree at WSU, so having the book placed in the university's own special collections closes a kind of loop.

Color Match

The images on this site are carefully color-managed, but no screen can fully replicate what these photographs look like as finished prints. The depth, color, and detail of a limited edition print on Hahnemühle Baryta Rag goes well beyond what any display can show.

About John

John Shephard grew up in Washington State surrounded by its landscapes and wild places. That connection to the land became the foundation of his work as a panoramic landscape photographer. He shoots exclusively on film, using panoramic cameras that capture a field of view close to what the human eye actually sees.
