<p>Oyster Culture is about the pleasures of oysters, and the rich intersection between oyster farming and culinary culture in the unique region of West Marin in northern California.

Oyster Culture features the oyster farms of West Marin, including the Tomales Bay Oyster Company, Drakes Bay Oyster Company, and Hog Island Oyster Company. It includes 18 delicious oyster recipes prepared for the home cook from West Marin restaurants, chefs and oyster farmers, including Osteria Stellina, Station House, the Marshall Store, Nick's Cove and more. Featuring over 150 beautiful photographs that evocatively describe this singular part of California, complemented by absorbing text, Oyster Culture is sure to appeal to readers who have an interest in local food and the place of its production.</p>

For centuries, raising pigeons and doves was a symbol of privilege granted to the aristocracy. Before the French Revolution, there were over forty thousand dovecotes in France: large, freestanding buildings that Vicki Topaz depicts in her enigmatic black-and-white photographs. Today, less than one thousand of these colombiers remain.Images from Silent Nests are included in several American collections, like the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and have been presented at international venues and photo festivals.Vicki Topaz is based in San Francisco. She is one of the co-founders of PhotoAlliance and a member of San Francisco Camerawork.
