“I got a copy of Shepherd Sterling’s luxury coffee table book, BANOVICH. It’s a beautiful decor piece and a wonderful read. This isn’t the kind of book you rush through. BANOVICH feels more like a 30-year expedition journal than a typical coffee table book. The photos are incredible, but what really stood out to me is the feeling behind them, the patience, the quiet moments, and the deep respect for wild places. As someone who spends a lot of time outdoors, this one really hit home. It captures a side of the outdoors you don’t always see on camera. It’s also just a beautiful piece to have around, one you’ll keep coming back to."
