"Annapolis A Photographic Portrait" Coffee Table Book signed by Lisa
This hardcover coffee table book celebrates all that is Annapolis.
Lisa dedicated close to two years capturing her hometown in photographs. Her efforts resulted in a beautiful coffee table book that contains nearly 200 images of exceptional quality and views never seen before via her camera lens.
Shipping is included in the Continental US.
The aerial images in this gorgeous coffee table book are especially breathtaking! Although while as a passenger in a Cessna she found it quite a challenge to aim through thick plexi-glass in a very confined cockpit while finding the best altitude and angle for her best birds-eye view. Lisa loved this opportunity because these photographs resulted in a totally different perspective of her hometown.
When Lisa was awarded this prestigious assignment she knew it would require many early dawn treks through Annapolis to get that perfect shot. She relates, “I like to call it ‘a perfect shot morning’ because of the calm surroundings which I’m sure you’ll notice - especially in many images with water.”
Although Lisa had a non-stop schedule her detailed photos reveal the fringe benefits of a coveted press pass as she boarded ships, gained special access to private places, attended many events and local happenings. Some notable memories include the parade up Main Street with the US Army Old Guard, in honor of the visiting ship L’Hermione, AYC Wednesday Night racing, interiors of the Government Residence, attending the Naval Academy graduation, Sea Trials and Navy Football.
“It was an honor that the publisher chose me” Lisa remembers “ especially since they were originally looking at five other photographers.”
At the end of Lisa Masson’s photographic exploration of 2015 she culled through her myriad of images, then submitted about 700 photos to the publisher for the final selection of nearly 200. With a sigh of relief, Lisa said, “Looking back over my year’s worth of work I was proud with the outcome and glad to have recorded today’s history of Annapolis.”
