Lowcountry native Karen T. Bartlett, an author and award-winning photojournalist, will be signing copies of her new book “The Seas Islands of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida” from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Friday at Burry Bookstore.
Bartlett is an award-winning professional photojournalist whose travel articles and photography appear regularly in magazines, travel guides, newspapers and books throughout North America and the Caribbean. Her assignments have taken her from royal Balinese palaces to the jungles of Belize, from the tundra of Lapland to the most remote islands in the South Pacific. She once was interrogated in South Africa for traveling with a Zulu spear, and she dined on live termites in Venezuela's Orinoco Delta.
The photographic journey in Bartlett’s new book begins just north of Charleston and follows the coastline south, from Beaufort to Hilton Head and the Kiawah Islands, along the historic Savannah coast to Georgia's famed Golden Isles and finally to Amelia Island on Florida's northern coast.
From laid-back beach towns to the private enclaves of the rich and famous, to pristine wildlife refuges, Bartlett captures not just lighthouses and forts, shrimp boats and Victorian seaports, but a rich legacy of cultures left behind by European artisocrats, West African slaves and the privileged families of America's Gilded Age.
