His photographs reveal snow-white dunes of gypsum, striking landforms, storms and stillness, panoramic vistas and breathtaking sunsets, intricate wind-blown 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 Monument 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49916876718353,"sku":"CIN0826358306G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763258855697,"sku":"CIN0826358306VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826358306_eb31d23a-5e6d-4587-96cf-969f1d5d461b.jpg?v=1761387969"},{"product_id":"ghost-ranch-and-the-faraway-nearby-book-craig-varjabedian-9780826336217","title":"Ghost Ranch and the Faraway Nearby","description":"For more than twenty years, Craig Varjabedian has explored and photographed the red cliffs and sweeping plains of Georgia O'Keeffe's fabled 21,000-acre Ghost Ranch in northern New Mexico. In \"\"Ghost Ranch and the Faraway Nearby\"\", he shares over ninety new duotone photographs capturing its evanescent light. These images reach beyond familiar ideas associated with the Ranch - such as its renown as a site of personal renewal and transformation - into Varjabedian's singular vision of his subject and its ties to ideas of identity, place, and perception. To further illuminate the experience of Ghost Ranch, Varjabedian gathered an 'appreciation' of Ghost Ranch, written by O'Keeffe, and essays written to accompany his photographs. These include an evocative introduction by photographer Jay Packer, an essay by writer Marin Sardy examining the place's natural features and social history, and topical essays by theological studies professor Belden C. Lane, arts writer Douglas A. Fairfield, and former Ghost Ranch executive director Rob Craig. Also included are forewords by Cathy L. Wright, director of the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, and Debra Hepler, executive director of Ghost Ranch.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50212734206225,"sku":"GOR013889768","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50252008063249,"sku":"GOR013899107","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008511672593,"sku":"NIN9780826336217","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51742948753681,"sku":"CIN0826336213G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826336213.jpg?v=1763473498"},{"product_id":"landscape-dreams-a-new-mexico-portrait-book-craig-varjabedian-9780826348791","title":"Landscape Dreams, a New Mexico Portrait","description":"This collection of ninety elegantly composed black-and-white images by one of New Mexico's most accomplished photographers, celebrates the state's captivating physical variety and enduring allure.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008612499729,"sku":"NIN9780826348791","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416510202129,"sku":"CIN0826348793G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51715099722001,"sku":"CIN0826348793VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826348793.jpg?v=1763478591"},{"product_id":"into-the-great-white-sands-book-craig-varjabedian-9780826368980","title":"Into the Great White Sands","description":"Photographic masterpiece on beloved White Sands National Park; now in paperback.
