Advance Praise for my book, Route 66 Revisited:
"Blake Shaw weaves his magic on a colorful journey down Route 66. The Mother Road never looked so good."
Russell Olsen, author, Route 66 Lost and Found
His Master's Voice
"The simplicity of Blake Shaw's homepage hits you over the head with a soft hammer belying the complex imagery within... when you point your mouse down Route 66 you'll discover that you're dealing with a master of the art and craft of image making... [his sports photography] captures the action, speed, and poetry of tennis and cycling... Shaw's evocative images go beyond traditional portraiture and capture a subject's soul, not just their likeness. "
Joe Farace, Shutterbug Magazine, August, 2004.
Website of the Month
"The images are colourful, passionate, and expertly executed, aided by good design and simple graphics."
Tracy Hallett, Outdoor Photography Magazine (England), July, 2005.
