Rockbridge: A Photographic Essay

Description

What prompted two White House news photographers to give up prestigious positions to move to the “sticks” of western Virginia? Words alone cannot answer this question. It is only in the powerful images captured by this talented duo that one can understand their decision. Frustrated by the lack of a coffee table book to give their friends, the Youngs made another decision—to produce the book themselves. They spent the next several years chronicling the beauty of Rockbridge County in this masterful book. Over 125 photographs tell the story. Inspirational quotes appear throughout the book; endnotes explain the locations and often inspiration. America’s weatherman Willard Scott, who makes his home in Rockbridge County, wrote the foreword explaining his love for this beautiful land.

Rockbridge is published in classic style with rich cloth, foil stamping, textured end leafs, art paper and hand stitched binding.
