About the Author MICHAEL H.
The author\'s proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation.
His lens embraces the people, the land, and the culture that keep so many Texans--and would-be Texans--coming back to the Hill Country again and again.
He takes us with him on leisurely backcountry drives and into the laughter and swirl of dance halls.
But the principal focus in The Texas Hill Country: A Photographic Adventure centers on Marvins\'s artful images, inviting readers to share his unique perspectives on this enchanting and popular region.
Next, Roy Flukinger, senior curator of photography at the University of Texas\' Harry Ransom Center, discusses Marvins\'s unique Photographic vision and the fresh ways in which he helps us see this popular region.
Popular Houston Chronicle columnist Joe Holley opens The Texas Hill Country by highlighting the many qualities that draw Marvins--and so many of the rest of us--to the Hill Country.
Most important, he has captured his impressions with the skilled eye of a master photographer.
Traveling the back roads of the Texas Hill Country, cameras always poised for action, Marvins has captured the excitement of small-town rodeos, savored the mesquite-smoked atmosphere of local eateries, observed the daily lives of people on the land, and admired the scenic beauty of the landscape and its natural denizens.
Marvins has been making regular pilgrimages to the Hill Country for much of his life.
