Reviews
"""What a treasure! Kim and Doug have set the standard for a regional treatise on photographers and their images. If you're a photographer of any kind, this book will be rewarding even if you don't have a connection to Ashe County. I enjoyed learning about the featured photographers and seeing how they approach photography, and I particularly liked the thorough treatment on the history of photography. Plus, the featured images have me wanting to spend some time in Ashe County with my own camera.""--Kevin Adams, a professional photographer and author of 12 North Carolina books"
