Wow, two blog entries in one day! Must be big doin’s at the Wheeler Photography World Headquarters… Big announcement follows (this is also in our latest e-newsletter, which you can subscribe to at www.glennwheeler.com)
If you’ve ever spent any time at an old house or a cabin in the country, you probably know the joy of sitting on a porch or lying in bed while a gentle rain dances on a tin roof. If you have been lucky enough to have experienced that, you know it is one of the simple pleasures in life. If you haven’t yet been so blessed, I hope you someday get to live it.
Stacey and I agree that the thought of a tin roof brings up several thoughts and emotions from nostalgia to dreams of “someday”. A tin roof conjures up thoughts and visions of the simple joys in life, perhaps with a little bit of “rustic” thrown in. Thoughts of relaxing with a hot cup of coffee on a cool, damp fall morning as the smell of wood smoke fills the air or a sipping cold glass of sweet tea on the porch swing, while escaping the sun and heat of a summer’s afternoon. It’s hard for us to envision a tin roof without associating it with good things and a simple, pure way of life.
We think and hope that we produce work that fits that vision and way of life; we know that we enjoy them. Whether it’s a well-written book or stunning photography, we like the things that compliment those ideals and hope to produce publications, prints, and many other things that do as well.
It was with those thoughts in mind that we decided, after much thought, prayer, and discussion, that we should start a small publishing company as an outlet for such works. At first we will publish only my work with the option of possibly working with other authors, photographers and so forth in the not-too-distant future.
So, it is with great pride and pleasure that Stacey and I announce our new company, Tin Roof Publishing. We are already well into the work on a couple of our inaugural publications, the first of which will be a small item that we have big hopes for. I can’t go much further just yet, but we are currently working with a print broker in California (one of the best in the business) to fine tune the printing details, etc. Once that is done, some final work on the design will go pretty quickly and we should have a finished product soon thereafter. Not long following that will come our second project, a book I have been working on for several months.
Our new website will be www.tinroofpublishing.com, but it’s not quite ready. Expect to see an initial website up in the near future.
We are very excited and hope you will follow us on this new adventure. And now, our new logo…
