The Southwest, The Land and Its People by Dick Spas
Book and Cover Design, Image Management
Dick Spas photographs are beautiful black and white photos of the southwest US taken in the style of Ansel Adams. Dick wanted a high quality hard cover book using the best printing process available. John Pruit, of Dog Soldier Press, spent the better part of a year finding a museum quality printer that could handle the job. I contributed the layout, cover design, and image quality check. Puritan Press was responsible for image scanning and duotone creation.
Dick Spas takes us on a photographic journey of the southwest US and its people, in the classic black and white style of Ansel Adams. The photographer shares captivating landscapes and intimate portraits taken over 50 years.
