Since we first launched Randy Strothman & Associates 30 years ago, my how the world has changed, including in the marketing arena. In 1987 the Internet was still incubating and it would be 4 years before the World Wide Web opened to the public. Imagine our lives today without the vast digital universe! It’s been a fun ride learning and using all of the rapidly evolving tools of the trade.

In early March I decided to create my first photo book, Colors of Pittsburgh: North Shore and Lower North Side. It’s my small tribute to Pittsburgh and the historic community that I moved to in 1997. Then came the second book in the Colors series Colors of Pittsburgh:  Downtown and The Strip District, first published in June. Both books, plus this new one, reflect my passions for color and photography.

Now, in September, it’s Colors of Nature: Nature and Man Embracing Nature, previewed below. This third coffee table photography book pays homage to nature around us, including the wonderful variety of textures, shapes, colors and patterns. I’ve also included examples of man’s use of natural forms in art and architecture and our embracing of nature in parks and gardens.
