AUTOGRAPHED BY ALL AUTHORS & PHOTOGRAPHER

We were fortunate to recently discover, TEN very special copies of my book Into the Great White Sands in my studio. These brand NEW copies (signed at the book’s launch event) include not only the signature of photographer Craig Varjabedian, but also the autographs of the wonderful people who contributed essays to the book: poet laureate and writer Jeanetta Calhoun Mish, former White Sands National Monument [Park] Superintendent Dennis Ditmanson and former White Sands Missile Range Public Affairs Officer Jim Eckles.

ABOUT:
Award-winning photographer Craig Varjabedian has spent decades photographing the many moods of the magnificent and ever-changing landscape of New Mexico’s White Sands National Park. His photographs reveal snow-white dunes of gypsum, striking landforms, storms and stillness, panoramic vistas and breathtaking sunsets, intricate windblown patterns in the sand, ancient animal tracks, exquisite desert plants, and also the people who come to experience this place that is at once spectacular yet subtle. Varjabedian’s evocative color images provide the reader with an almost palpable sense of this extraordinary place.

These photographs are enriched by several essays written by Jeanetta Calhoun Mish, noted poet and author; Dennis Ditmanson, retired White Sands National Park superintendent; Jim Eckles, retired Missile Range public affairs officer; and Craig Varjabedian, the photographer who shares his insights and experiences of photographing this inspiring landscape and offers tips on making better pictures of White Sands. Into the Great White Sands won the prestigious New Mexico/Arizona Book Award.
