Cranberries Revealed Wayne’s coffee table book “Cranberries Revealed - From the Marsh to the Table” was the 2015 winner as the best coffee table/art book and best cook book of the year awarded by the Midwest Independent Publishing Association! “Wayne Martin didn’t set out to produce a mesmerizing coffee table- cookbook about cranberries. The result...is a gorgeous book about a food that graces most every American’s Thanksgiving table....” Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel – Sept. 2015 “...There is an intimate beauty in this photographic journey that is rarely seen. The fresh images are stunning – cranberry red practically spills through the pages.” Green Bay Press-Gazette – April 2016 “...Deftly organized and presented in three major sections... "Cranberries Revealed: From The Marsh To The Table" will prove an enduringly popular addition to community library collections and should be considered a "must" for all cranberry enthusiasts! Midwest Book Review – June 2015 “The book is in essence a visual biography of the fruit, highlighting its beauty as it’s produced in the field, harvested and used as a food.” Gannett Central Wis. Media – Sept. 2015 “In his book, Cranberries Revealed”, photojournalist Wayne R. Martin captures lush seas of berries through pictures as he follows the superfruit on its journey from seed to table. It’s an enjoyable picture and recipe book from beginning to end.” St Paul Pioneer Press – Sept. 2015 “The book does include recipes, but mostly it’s a collection of stunning and fascinating images with just enough info to make you feel that you’ve learned something.” Minneapolis Star Tribune – Sept. 2015 Wayne Martin was a professional photographer for over 37 years. He began his career as a photojournalist in his home state of Wisconsin and Oregon and later moved into corporate and commercial photography. For 22 years he ran his own commerical photography business in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. He grew up in Wisconsin Rapids, WI – the heart of Wisconsin’s cranberry country where 60% of the U.S. crop is grown each year. Retired since 2016, “Cranberries Revealed” was his swan song. Much to his delight, the book won the two top awards from the Midwest Independent Publishing Association in 2015 for best coffee table book and best recipe book of the year. Although he spends less time behind the camera these days, Wayne enjoys playing guitar, bicycling, trout fishing and traveling across North America with his wife in their little motorhome. He and his wife Anne currently live in Plymouth, MN.
