Rhode Island (Regional Photos) [Hardcover]

Richard Benjamin (Photographer)

Book Description

Series: Regional Photos | Publication Date: August 23, 2004

Tucked into a corner of New England, Rhode Island is one of the region's best-kept secrets. Out-of-staters think of it as Providence, Newport, and little else. Photographer Richard Benjamin knows better. His Rhode Island is a four-part scenic tour of the state beginning and ending in the capital: Part One focuses on Providence, Part Two moves Along the Coast from the East Bay to Little Compton and over Newport, Part Three travels the Back Roads from the Hope Valley to Hopkinton, and Part Four returns to Providence to discover the city's rebirth.

Richard Benjamin was formerly an award-winning staff photographer for The Providence Journal, and, if I'm not mistaken, The Evening Bulletin. This book - Rhode Island - is an exceptional portrait of the State, covering most regions and seasons using strong composition and natural light to present beautiful pictures and perfect reminders of some of the best places in Rhode Island.
