The Color of Dreams - The Book
Wayne Suggs Photography
Finally! Last night I arrived home to a shipment of books. I sat down and went through the book page by page, and I don't mind saying I was so happy and proud, I was nearly crying. It is every photographer's dream to have a coffee table book. To have one of this caliber is beyond all expectations.
This project started when all of my Muench Workshops were cancelled due to Covid. I knew at some point I would write a book, and because I had the time, I knew it was now. I had listened to an episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, and Matt Payne was interviewing Jerry Greer, of Mountain Trail Press. I had been searching for a book publisher/printer. Because Jerry is a photographer and a damn good one at that, I knew this would be a good fit. I first contacted him back in March. We had many conversations and I began putting the book together in June. My wife Kiki and I worked on it throughout the summer and finally around October, we were satisfied.
Jerry recommended we use a new process, AGFA Apogee Sublima Intellent XM Screening Technology. It was the first time he had printed a book with this method. It is nothing short of amazing. The images look three dimensional and I have never seen a book where the photographs practically come to life on every page.
This 10 x 13 coffee table book has a linen cloth cover with embossed metallic print and a foreword written by Marc Muench, (he was way too kind). It is 138 pages of images accompanied by my thoughts, descriptions, and stories of the photographs.
In this book I also give credit to many of my dearest friends. People that inspire me and that I truly enjoy being around.
They air freighted twenty books to me. The rest of the books will arrive in a few weeks and will be ready to ship out.
If you have already contacted me about being on the list to be notified when the book is ready, you are on it. If you haven't contacted me yet, just let me know in the comments below and I will add you. Soon I will have a link on my website where the book can be pre-ordered/purchased. The price not including shipping is $59.95 US dollars.
If you are interested, in a month or so, Jerry Greer and I will be on Matt's podcast, F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, talking about the making of the book.
I cannot thank Jerry of Mountain Trail Press enough for all of his expertise and guidance. I am over the moon!
The advance copies arrived today, and they look amazing! Mountain Trail Press
