The first book packaged and ready to go!
This beautiful photo was taken from our dock in Silver Bay, NY. Accompanied by a quote from Henry David Throeau.
This 6 page panel are photos I have taken around Silver Bay Inn that many of the summer EMP's may recognize.
This is one of my favorite photos. It's our campfire with pinecones burning on the bottom. The words are a fun addition.
Every summer it's harder and harder for me to leave our summer home in Silver Bay, NY. The people there (in Silver Bay and Ticonderoga) have become such a part of our life and happiness I'm not sure if it's them or the beautiful simplicities of the lake we all enjoy that keeps bringing us back. Being there it is hard not to be inspired and I'm left trying to find ways to share the natural beauty of the Adirondack Mountains with others within my art and in my life.
As our time this summer dwindled down I found myself and other visitors talking about how they just needed, "a little bit of Silver Bay" to last them until next year. On my return home the idea of this mini book came to my mind. I thought it could be a great way to share images of Lake George with others. The obvious beauty is something that you don't need to have been there to enjoy, most anyone would love the gifts the Forever Wild Adirondack Mountains have to offer.
One of the most enjoyable parts of creating this book was reaching out to some of my Silver Bay (SB) friends asking them to help me find words that reminded them of SB. Many of them came up with many more words than I needed which further reminded me how dear this place is to so many and for so many more reasons.
The book is available on my site and if you click on the images above you will be directed to a page with more information on purchasing the first of this series of Silver Bay books. These books will only be available until the end of this year. It is my plan to create two more books to go along with this first addition.
The photos do show three different colors of books but for now I am only offering the rustic red cover. It compliments the images very nicely. I'm hoping this first book is well received so I can make more and add a Ticonderoga book as well.
