Perched off of North Carolina's mainland and bordered by sounds to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, The Outer Banks is a unique chain of barrier islands perhaps best known as a summer vacation playground for families from all over the United States. While the beach and the infrastructure supporting it continue to be the area's economic engine, its other physical characteristics are often overlooked. Over the years of its rich history, natural and human forces have shaped the Outer Banks in a manner that has left a legacy of incredible beauty. Outer Banks Edge is an attempt to capture this beauty in static images.The book offers an unstructured journey from Corolla to Ocracoke, concentrating on the shapes and colors that make the Outer Banks special. The book makes no attempt to be all things to all people. The photographs themselves drove the book, not vise versa. Therefore, there are places and attractions not included.

If we missed some of your favorites, we apologize. But we hope that the photographs, taken together, provide you with the unequaled feeling that is associated with the Outer Banks.
