West Falmouth Library is pleased to present another program in our Quintessential Cape & Islands Series, “Thoreau’s Cape Cod, illustrated by photographer Scot Miller“, on Wednesday, June 9th at 7pm. Cost is $8. This multimedia Zoom presentation features Miller’s gorgeous photographs that accompanied the 150th anniversary edition of the seminal Henry David Thoreau work, Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic. Tickets available at westfalmouthlibrary.org
Photographer Scot Miller’s work has formed the basis of numerous books, including Walden: The 150th Anniversary Illustrated Edition of the American Classic; Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic; First Light: Five Photographers Explore Yosemite’s Wilderness; My First Summer in the Sierra: 100th Anniversary Illustrated Edition, winner of a 2011 National Outdoor Book Award; Thoreau, The Maine Woods: A Photographic Journey Through an American Wilderness; and Emerson, Muir, Thoreau: A Photographic Trilogy of American Wildness. In 2018, Scot published A Word for Nature: Photographs from walks on the Trinity Skyline Trail in which he advocates for a long-term plan to manage the 10,000+ “wild” acres of the Trinity River Greenbelt and Great Trinity Forest in Dallas, Texas. His photographs are featured in the new book The Texas White House: A Photographic Tour of Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson’s Home on the LBJ Ranch. Through his photography, he attempts to inspire an appreciation and understanding of the uniqueness of wild places and open spaces. Scot is a passionate advocate for the protection and preservation of wild spaces and for many years has lectured and used his still and video images in support of conservation-oriented nonprofit groups, including Yosemite Conservancy, the Walden Woods Project, Caddo Lake Institute, Groundwork Dallas and Friends of Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park. Scot lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife, Marilyn, where they own and operate Sun to Moon Gallery, a fine art photography gallery.
