Title: People's Lives
Description: "People's Lives records a photographic journey in celebration of the human spirit. In sixty-nine duotone images taken around the world, Bill Wright captures what is best in people - our joy, love, hope, and humor, as well as our ability to thrive even in the toughest circumstances. Many of the photographs are accompanied by extended captions in which Wright describes the encounters that produced them.

In the preface, he also discusses the development of his photographic career and artistic philosophy and his methods of working. Sam Abell, the noted National Geographic magazine photographer, offers a perceptive assessment and appreciation of Wright's work in the introduction.".

"For thirty-five years, Bill Wright combined photography with a successful business career in west Texas. Since 1990, he has been a full-time photographer and writer, whose work has appeared in numerous exhibitions and in the books Portraits from the Desert: Bill Wright's Big Bend, The Texas Kickapoo: Keepers of Tradition, and The Tiguas: Pueblo Indians of Texas.

His photographic journeys have taken him to over sixty countries, and his award-winning photography is included in both domestic and international collections, including the Museum of New Mexico, the Amon Garter Museum, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of American Art, and the British Library."--BOOK JACKET.
