Photographer Scot Miller presents "Illustrating Thoreau's Cape Cod: A Photographer's Story,” a multimedia presentation documenting his experiences photographing the Cape for Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic. Originally published in 1865, Henry David Thoreau’s Cape Cod is a wonderfully written, surprisingly funny account of nineteenth-century life on the Cape well before it became a major tourist attraction. To this day, many people consider it the best book ever written about Cape Cod. This illustrated volume, published in 2008, features the complete text of Thoreau’s classic work as published in Houghton Mifflin’s 1906 edition, the stunning photography of Scot Miller, and a foreword from the preeminent Thoreau biographer (and Cape Cod resident), Robert Richardson. Many of the lush color photographs show elements of the landscape that Thoreau would have seen: the great beach, imposing cliffs, sand dunes, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, beach grass, seaweed; others reflect the unique personality of Cape Cod and its people today, including local artists and architecture. The combination of Thoreau’s timeless text and Miller’s exquisitely reproduced color photographs make this an indispensable book for anyone who loves Thoreau’s writing and Cape Cod. The book was published in association with the Walden Woods Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the lands Thoreau wrote about. There will also be a booking signing: Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic is out of print but Scot will have approximately a dozen (12) new, signed copies available for sale at the presentation. The Maine Woods: A Photographic Journey Through an American Wilderness, a limited collectors edition by Levenger Press, sold out within months of publication but Scot will also have new, signed copies available for sale. Preregistration required. This program is associated with BLT's Thoreau's Cape Cod Readathon, a 2-day live event sponsored by Rockland Trust to be held at Fuller Farm in Marstons Mills on October 7 & 8.
