I’m excited to announce that I have completed the layout and design for my limited edition book, On the Rio Grande ~ A Photographic Exploration of Santa Elena Canyon. This book takes the viewer on a photographic journey through a corner of the land not often seen or experienced by most people. The photographs represented in the book chronicle three days spent canoeing the Rio Grande on its course from Lajitas, Texas, through Santa Elena Canyon, to its mouth in Big Bend National Park.
This book contains 63 pages, and 31 images printed on premium paper, including several images not show in my portfolios. This is a hardcover book measuring 13″x11″ in landscape format and is complete with a beautiful full color dust jacket.
The first proof of the book has been printed and after a few minor adjustments were made, I can proudly offer the book for sale. This book has been created as limited-edition of 25 copies. Each copy will be numbered and signed. The first 10 books are available for $225, with the second batch of 10 selling for $325, and the last 5 will be held in reserve. Please note: as of early February 2009, 6 books have been spoken for. Please contact me to order your copy.
For collectors that are interested in both the book and fine art prints, I would like to extend to you a special offer of $100 off the cost of your prints when ordered with a book.
To see a selection of images from my project, please visit my Big Bend galleries on my website. If you would like to know more about my project and the Luminous Landscape Endowment, please visit the Santa Elena Canyon Project page on my website.

Very nice, Adam! I sure hope I get to see a copy one of these days. I hadn’t found the Big Bend galleries on your site before, and they’re a real treat. My parents boated down there a lot in the ’70s, but I’ve never made it that way. Thanks for the inspiration!
CONGRATULATIONS Adam!!!! This is incredible!! I can’t wait for my copy!! ;o)
Hi Jackson,
I am sure we will have the opportunity to shoot together, and someday when we do, I will bring the book. Thanks for the comment!
Best,
Adam
