About Washington: A Photographic Journey
Product Description Experience the Northwest's best-kept secrets in this newest book by husband-and-wife photography team Tom Kirkendall and Vicky Spring. Covering the Evergreen State from Seattle to Spokane and everywhere in between, Washington: A Photographic Journey highlights the state's cities, attractions, and natural vistas in vibrant color photographs. Readers will love revisiting their favorite corners of the state, whether the dramatic coastline, the Olympic rain forest, the lofty Cascade Range, or the sweeping agricultural fields of the Inland Empire. About the Author Tom Kirkendall was born in 1956 in San Francisco. In 1969 he moved to Wilmington, North Carolina, where he developed an interest in competitive surfing, cycling, and photography. These interests were reflected in his part-time jobs in a surf shop, a bicycle shop, and a camera store. After completing two years at the University of North Carolina in Wilmington, he packed his worldly possessions a surfboard, a bike, and his cameras into his VW bug and headed west to finish his schooling at the Brooks Institute of Photography at Santa Barbara, California. He graduated from Brooks in 1980. Vicky Spring was born in Seattle in 1953 and helped out with the family photography business in her youth. She attended the University of Washington and graduated in 1975, then spent the next two years in the Peace Corps teaching math in the Central African Republic. Back home in Seattle, she worked a couple of years at REI just for fun, then packed her worldly possessions - a bike, her skis, and her climbing gear - into her Datsun and headed south to Santa Barbara, California, to attend the Brooks Institute of Photography. Vicky and Tom met at Brooks. They married a couple of years later and became Kirkendall-Spring Photographers, specializing in landscapes, nature's wonders, and occasional forays into action sports. While building up their catalog, they produced numerous guidebooks to their favorite sports: bicycling, skiing, and hiking. When their image numbers topped the 10,000 mark, they weaned themselves out of guidebooks and concentrated on photographing our beautiful country. Tom and Vicky live in western Washington near their two grown children. For more of their work, visit kirkendall-spring.photoshelter.com.
