Help me choose title for National Parks book
This summer, to celebrate the National Park Service Centennial, I will publish a book where photographs of the 59 US National Parks are augmented with photography locations notes. I'll let you know more about the book in a few months, but for now, I am asking your opinion about the choice of titles.
A bit of context for the choice of words: The book includes, among about 400 images, the 59 large format photographs which form my traveling exhibit "Treasured Lands". The project took over 20 years to complete, and over 300 visits to cover almost each corner of each park, some quite difficult or eventful. Besides inspiring through images, I share some of my experiences and guide photographers with practical information to the locations seen in the images.

The number 59 is mostly irrelevant, so should be removed I believe.
I'm not sure about the term "photographic". If you couldn't see the book, it would be helpful, but I suspect that most people would be able to tell it is a photography book from the cover or preview, so I feel it is also unnecessary. Can't decide on that, though.
Put me down for a copy!
Re: Help me choose title for National Parks book
Will the text and book as a whole focus on your personal "Odyssey" to photograph all of the parks? If so then I woulds place that idea foremost. Something like:
Bucket List: My 5-year Odyssey to Photograph the National Parks
Golden Hour: Five years in the National Parks
Yosemite to Acadia: Photographing the National Parks, Coast to Coast
My Best Idea: Photographic Portraits of America's National Parks

"QT Long In The National Parks"

This sounds awesome, you can put me down for a copy as well.
Re: Help me choose title for National Parks book
Treasured Lands: America's National Parks.
Re: Help me choose title for National Parks book
Add "ALL" before the first title to get your book alphabetized where it will be more visible,and make it stand out from the uncounted others of similar names.
(All The U. S. National Parks, a photographic odyssey)
