Please welcome Shuttered Stanzas Vol 3 by Sharrone & Only Photography in the spotlight!

Shuttered Stanzas Vol 3 is where lens and sonnet intertwine, Pacific Northwest’s beauty in poetic design. A Pacific Northwest nature photographer and a contemporary sonneteer unite to present one stunning collection of art and verse. Volume Three!

Shuttered Stanzas is an ongoing collaboration between a photographer and a poet who happen to be siblings and cannot leave well enough alone. Each volume pairs Pacific Northwest nature photography with original contemporary sonnets.

Volume III is about journeys, quests, getting somewhere, oftentimes getting lost. Each photograph in this year’s collection comes from a single trip into the woods and appears roughly in the order it was taken. That means this volume isn’t just another collection artbook. This coffee table book has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

The author is raising funds for print copies of the book, however there are some unique add-ons, including reusable sticker books and a crawling ivy wrist lanyard and tote bag.
