Featured Book!
Life Among the Milkweed is a photographic showcase of the life that hides among the plants and grasses in the fields around our feet. It was a project begun out of my love for the monarch butterfly. Aware of its dependence on the milkweed plant, I stalked the insect there, and in doing so, discovered an unassuming mini-world of color and intrigue existing around me in silent acceptance of its place among human giants.

Blood cancer, more specifically myelofibrosis, threatened to cut short the life of a man who had lived it to the fullest. With a host of friends and relatives who cared for him, Don Preston was determined to keep in touch during his 18-month ordeal of searching for a donor and undergoing a grueling, but finally successful, bone marrow transplant.

"You have cancer! Those are the words no one wants to hear. But I heard them. How are you supposed to react when someone tells you that? …The news brought me serenity. I had a great life, accomplished most of my goals and dreams, and enjoyed great friends and family. I was thankful and comfortable. But that was not surrender; it was an acceptance of my new reality. It put me in a perfect state for what was really on my mind – and that was to fight like hell!"
—Don Preston, 2020
"I find it interesting and challenging to experiment with materials in new formats. ... The references to nature and the relationship between color, light, and texture are my focus."

"My work as presented here is not about a computer world, nor does it concern wars, guns, divorce, or struggles against fear. At a time when violence is prevalent in our world, the series of images shown in this book reflect children having fun, getting along, and enjoying their young lives as they play, think, and create." - Marie Prince, April 2008

The World Imagined is a coming of age tale for all adults who never forgot the fragile brilliance and lurking terrors of being a child. ... Slater writes with the subtle care of a poet, in language that is acutely sensitive and lyrically moving. She not only “discovers a self in the world” (and a profound self it is) but imagines one into being. —Lia Purpura

Architecture + Advocacy
The memoir of noted African American architect, Robert Traynham Coles, FAIA, advocate for minorities and women, was published on November 15, 2016. This hard-cover book may now be ordered for immediate delivery. List price: $39.95 + s/h
​
This richly-illustrated book is a success story of inspiration and hope that carried Buffalo-born Robert Traynham Coles, the African American son of a postal worker, through a 50-year career as an architect. When a high school teacher sought to discourage him, telling him there were no opportunities for Negroes in architecture, Coles became determined to prove him wrong. His native ability and perseverance propelled him through a master’s degree from M.I.T. to opening his own firm in 1963 and leading to senior positions in the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the AIA College of Fellows.
