About the author

David Skernick is a landscape photographer and educator whose books, published by Schiffer Publishing, document the back roads of specific US regions through photography. Back Roads of New England (2024) covers Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, and Vermont, while Back Roads of the Southwest (2019) travels through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. Both books are built around images rather than narrative text, using panoramic photographic spreads to place the reader within the landscapes covered, much of it preserved within national park systems. They belong to a genre of regional photography books meant for browsing and for readers planning road trips through these areas, rather than for close reading. Skernick's focus stays on place and season, fall foliage in New England, desert terrain in the Southwest, over any wider argument.
