News Flash! In the S.F. Chronicle, this really nice mention by Tom Stienstra... Unveil the outdoors by wrapping up a book. Capturing a Bay Area jewel: "Point Reyes Visions." The book made it to my coffee table in my office (no small feat). When confounded when a story falls through, I open it up and the beautiful photography is like I've been hit with a tranquilizer dart. There's hardly an inch of Point Reyes I haven't seen and the slick, color photos not only capture the place, but are like windows looking at past adventures. Sections on adjacent Tomales Bay and Mount Tamalpais are a bonus to the jewel-quality photos of the Bay Area's favorite national park. $29.95. pointreyesvisions.com. –read the full story at Tom Stienstra ©San Francisco Chronicle 12/21/2008 |

The authors of the best-selling Point Reyes Visions have expanded their horizons to encompass the entirety of California. Richard Blair and Kathleen Goodwin bring a unique view of the state with the images and text in their new book, California Trip. Travelling thousands of miles throughout the state, they have captured its spirit with photographs that range from surfers, farm workers and movie stars to exquisite pictures of California’s deserts and mountains. This is an unusual book for the depth of perspective it gives the viewer of its cultural and natural landscapes. From the hippies and the protests of the sixties to California today-the authors were there with cameras and a reporter’s notebook, recording vital details of California’s unique place in the world. Goodwin and Blair weren’t just reporting; they were deeply involved, freezing and frying in the mountains and deserts, demonstrating against the wars, dancing at concerts, always observing. California has been brought to life–its people, craziness and peak moments of beauty and truth. The content is honest and revealing, breaking new ground for a California picture book by including ignored but important subjects, like earthquakes, immigration, gay and lesbian rights, the rise of organic farming to name a few. California is a place where freedom still thrives. If you are interested in a nontraditional yet reality-based view of California, this book will turn your head. Blair and Goodwin created this large format artist’s book in their live/work studio. It is 11x11 inches, clothbound, with 300 pages and 600 photographs. This heralds a new kind of book: where artists can take their project all the way to press and intensify their work through each stage. They photographed, wrote, designed, scanned the book. It was a long-term effort of almost 40 years. The printer used a special printing technique to print the book with no halftone dots, but rather microscopic speckles and ultra bright inks.
