Yesterday I hung my photo show at Parker Pie. I hope all of you within driving range will come take a look. It turns out to be a preview of coming attractions as the publication of my book, Kingdom’s Bounty, is postponed until spring. This will no doubt be better timing for marketing, and for many of the farmers and seasonal businesses that are featured and listed.
Kingdom’s Bounty will be a guidebook — a collection of photos, stories, maps and basic information about the Northeast Kingdom. The publisher is Umbrage Editions in Brooklyn. Many of you know Nan Richardson who has a home in Barton; she is the publisher. We’re wicked excited about this project. Here’s a chance for everyone to take a sneak peek. I’m not sure that all of these particular photos are going to appear in the book, but most of them are.
You can buy a copy of Kingdom’s Bounty ahead of time on the Umbrage web site: www.umbragebooks.com. Meanwhile I hope you will come take a look at the show, and let me know what you think. While you are there try some delicious pizza with local ingredients. The Hill Farmstead beer is always on tap. Maybe I will see you there. The show will be up through Christmas time.
Thanks to Elizabeth Nelson who does a wonderful job as curator at the Pie.
Featured here are Jay Peak, Claire's, Hill Farmstead, Ploughgate, Too Little Farm, Vermont Highland Cattle Company, Pete's Green's, and the Lazy Lady.
