For fifty years, music fans, hippies, artists, and songwriters have
converged each spring on Quiet Valley Ranch in the Texas Hill
Country. They are drawn by the thousands to the annual Kerrville
Folk Festival, a weeks-long gathering of musical greats and
ordinary people living in an intentional community marked by
radical acceptance and the love of song. At the festival, David
Johnson is known as Photo Dave, the guy who lugs around a
large-format camera and captures the moments that make Kerrville
special. It Can Be This Way Always collects eighty images from the
past decade. Portraits of attendees and volunteers accompany scenes
of stage performances, campfire jam sessions, and vans repurposed
into coffee stands. In these images we see the temporary, makeshift
world that festivalgoers create, a place where eccentricities are
the norm and music is the foundation of friendship and unity. "It
can be this way always" is a popular saying at Kerrville:
simultaneously optimistic and wistful like a good folk song-or a
photograph from your best life.
Can you spot the Big Dipper in the night sky? Or Orion's Belt? Or
Cassiopeia? Even in cities, and without the aid of a telescope,
these are a few of the easier constellations to find. In fact, a
great deal can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye - if you
know what you're looking for. Night Sky presents 200 colour
photographs of stunning nocturnal vistas all visible to the naked
eye. From the majesty of the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) as
seen from Norway or Canada, and the Southern Lights (Aurora
australis) as seen from Australia, to seeing the clarity of the
Milky Way over an Italian forest, from witnessing a lunar eclipse
in Indonesia to charting the course of the International Space
Station across the Indian night, and from seeing a Geminid meteor
shower in New Mexico to recognizing the Great Bear (Ursa Major)
constellation over New England, the book is a feast of nocturnal
delights. Where necessary, additional inset photographs indicate
the formation of a constellation. Presented in a landscape format
and with 200 outstanding colour photographs supported by
fascinating captions, Night Sky is a stunning collection of images.
