Vanishing America Coffee Table Book

I'm test marketing a coffee table book of my favorite images from The Vanishing America Project. It's a large 116 page 11x13 inch hardcover with a glossy dust jacket, and it looks great.

Since this is just a test marketing effort, the book is not being mass produced. It is being produced one at a time (as they are ordered) at http://www.blurb.com/my/book/detail/768482.

Since they are only printed as they are ordered, they are not cheap. However, they are beautiful.

Take a peek at http://www.blurb.com/my/book/detail/768482, and vote for it for the Photography.Book.Now People's Choice Award!

Vanishing America Photos now on Sale!

In this crazy economy, spending several hundred dollars or more on a Gallery-Edition work of art can really put a strain on the family budget. Yet, at the same time, you want to support The Vanishing America Project any way you can, and you love the images so much that you absolutely HAVE to have them on your wall!

Well, now you can.

I have set up several galleries on a special website, making available hundreds of images from my travels around the United States. From Wild Mustangs to pristine landscapes, the images are every bit as stunning and beautiful as the Gallery series. And they are VERY affordable! The only thing they lack is the signature!

Go to http://vanishingamerica.smugmug.com/ to order anything from a little 4x6 postcard to a huge 30x40 poster, and everything in between. (8x10 prints are only $30, and big 16x20 prints are only $75!)

You can even order t-shirts, mugs, keychains, and other merchandise with the image of your choice.

So, go to http://vanishingamerica.smugmug.com/ and fill up your walls with some great photographic art!

The Vanishing America Project

"What will our country be like 100 years from now? Will there even be wild horses, bears, and mountain lions that aren’t confined to a zoo? Will still there be vast tracts of undiscovered natural wilderness? Will there be such a thing as a small town? Will our descendants even care? If we continue to let Progress go unchecked, these, and other cherished aspects of our country and culture, will be lost to us forever.

Precious aspects of our country and culture are in danger of vanishing within the next 2-3 generations, and photographer/writer Holt Webb is using his artistic eye to show the world what is at stake when we let Progress run rampant.

Beginning in May of 2007, and continuing through the end of 2012, Artist and writer Holt Webb will be driving an ecologically-friendly motor coach, powered by Vegetable Oil and Solar Energy, around the United States documenting and publishing images and stories of American treasures that could be lost to us during our lifetimes.

Holt’s Vanishing America Project looks to enlighten Americans on the fragile nature of our wildlife, our landscapes, and our own ways of life. Subjects include the great, but vulnerable, Okefenokee Swamp, the dying shrimping industry of the Atlantic coast, the uncertain fate of the Wild Mustang, and the search for authentic small-town life. Visiting 49 states, and traveling only by back roads, Holt seeks to capture scenes of America and American life that are all too easily forgotten in this age of technology, reality shows, and global commercialization.

The images and stories he brings back are both beautiful and shocking as we are shown man’s encroachment on nature, nature’s changing ecosystems, and our own forgotten cultural icons.

“America is changing fast. And, often, change is good. But sometimes change destroys the things we love about our country. Hopefully these images, and the ones that will follow as I travel across the United States, will remind people how precious, how ephemeral, and how important these aspects of our country and our culture are.”
-- Holt Webb

Articles, presentations, photo essays, books, Fine Art gallery exhibitions, a documentary, and a TV show will be forthcoming. Holt’s progress can be followed at www.vanishingamerica.net.

Save the date!

Well, it's official!

Saturday, June 28th, 2008 marks the opening of the very first Vanishing America exhibit, which will be on display through July at Roswell's Ann Jackson Gallery!

This marks the first in a series of exhibitions of Fine Art photography from the Vanishing America project. Future exhibits will be held in cities all over the United States, each one showcasing new work as well as some original favorites, but this is the first!

All of the images are in signed, limited editions of 25 and vary in size from 8x10 inches to over 5 feet. And, once an edition sells out, there will be no more. What that means to the collector is that each image will not only retain its value, but that the value of each image will actually increase with time.

The opening night of the exhibit promises to be a blast, with music from Atlanta's best blues band, The Breeze Kings, a wine tasting from local vendors, and barbecue from Alpharetta's own Smokejack restaurant, all accompanying 25 of Vanishing America's best images to date.

If you are in the Atlanta area, and would like to attend... hell, if you're within 200 miles of Atlanta, you have to attend!... please RSVP to holt@vanishingamerica.net as soon as you can. This is an historic event. Space is limited and though this event is free, it will "sell out" very quickly.
