The Highlands (large format book)
by Richard S. McWherter

The Highlands is a landmark book of a series of Tactual Dreamscape photographs by Richard S. McWherter that blurs the lines between photography, drawing, and painting. These expressionistic images offer a unique way of seeing deep into the nature of this artist’s intimate passion, as well as bringing a visceral response from others. People are often curious about what part of the image is photographic and what part is painted. But this interaction between what is physical and what is imagination is exactly why these photographs have that dream-like quality, as if from a memory of a familiar place we haven’t visited yet.

The Walkwood Album (book)
by Richard S. McWherter

The name Walkwood is, of course, a shortening of the phrase a “walk in the woods.” This theme began as a remembrance of the many hours that my grandfather and I would spend hiking on his wooded property near his home in Pennsylvania. And this theme is just that basic; what one might find on such a day spent with nature. And, that you are more likely to stumble upon the Divine on any footpath through a forest or field than any structure or building consecrated by man.

Richard McWherter’s unique inspiration is clearly demonstrated through the images he creates with his camera in the Laurel Highlands and Chestnut Ridge areas near his home in Western Pennsylvania. But his landscapes reveal more than just a record of a particular time or place; they speak to much more universal themes.

REACH (magazine)
by Richard S. McWherter

The ability to go further. The capacity to transform distance. To grasp at the horizon. To influence with power and scope. To command by compass. An extension of soul and gamut. Unlimited by jurisdiction. To transcend latitude by an infinite magnitude. A mastery of orbit. A play for range. To extend by social radius. And spread by sweep and sway.
