We've all heard the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover", right? Well, that has never been more true. The cover may be of Walter's iconic Mount Rainier reflection, but the book's content is everything that Maryland is, at heart. A staggering total of nearly four hundred photographs span across more than two hundred pages in this first-edition book by Walter Dorsett. The book is situated between four chapters; Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring, with a bonus chapter of the photographers' self-portraits at the end. In the Eyes of Walter Dorsett, a book that's long overdue in the eyes of his fans, is here to stay. A content heavy book with minimal text allows the reader to enjoy a visual experience, away from the social media standard set today by people like Dorsett. With the majority of the content centered around Maryland and its neighboring states. There's still plenty of west coast features to behold as well, like the front and back covers, both captured inside the depths of Mount Rainier National Park. This is a book that'll make you want to cut every page out and frame them individually, it's just that artistically cohesive.

Having grown a global following and appreciation for his work, travel was a natural step in Dorsett's career. His audience wants to see where he goes next, and Dorsett takes them on his journey with his work. From Catalina Island to Nova Scotia, from Mexico to the Southern Caribbean, Dorsett continues to hone his craft with each excursion. Sunsets, wildlife, and natural phenomena are highlights of his work, alluring fans on social media, and inspiring patrons to purchase his work. It was this success which inspired him to produce a table-top collection of his work.
"My goal was never to become famous. I wanted the work to speak, so I didn't have to. I wanted to remain in the shadows, like the wildlife I so desperately sought out. But somehow, hundreds of millions of people found me. The universe is showing you its beauty, we have all been brought to this very moment for a reason. Respect our home and with each passing day, I hope you too can feel the presence that I've felt for so long. May the next 10 years be just as whimsical. Thank you so much for giving me a chance.
With so much love and gratitude, Walter Dorsett."
