Books by John Pedersen

I enjoy the creative process of designing a book as well as the enjoyment that I can bring to my readers.  Most books are available in electronic format for easy download and reading on your mobile devices.  Some books are only available in printed format due to format or artistic desire.

E-book Chasing Big Ice story of sailing in Greenland

Chasing Big Ice

Visiting an arctic landscape and seeing the “big ice” is something that I’ve longed to do since I was a young child.  Where I once thought I had to go to Antarctica to fulfill this dream, I became aware of a distinctly unique area in Eastern Greenland, a place unlike any other on earth.  I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to explore this area in the summer of 2024 and this book chronicles that experience as we sailed on a 70-year old wooden two-masted wooden sailboat through the waters of Scoresby Sund.  Largely written on location to capture the nuances and subtlety of emotion and detail that is often lost with time, each chapter of this book is full of our daily adventures along with plenty of images to transport you to this time and place as you read along.

Reflections

Reflections are a gift from the world. They have the ability to captivate us, instill a sense of awe, baffle and beguile us and most of all, reflect a bit of the world in a slightly different way that can enrapture us.  This book is a collection of my 60 favorite images featuring reflections as either a supporting element to the main subject, or, as the subject itself.  Interspersed throughout are inspiring and reflective quotes to give you thoughtful consideration as you examine each delightful image.
