Sprague Theobald. Author, actor, adventurer, America’s Cup crew member, Arctic explorer, Emmy-winning filmmaker, and award-winning Photographer. SPRAGUE THEOBALD PHOTOGRAPHY—Now available. Sprague Theobald fell in love with photography the day his mother bought a copy of U.S. Camera in the mistaken belief it was a magazine documenting the wildly embarrassing moments seen on the popular TV show, Candid Camera. The only candid moments in the magazine were the black and white photographs of nude women. Needless to say, this captured the attention of ten-year-old Sprague. But what also fascinated him were the camera settings used to take each photograph that were printed alongside the artistic poses. By spending hours in his room poring over the magazine, he taught himself, among other things, the basics of photography. And once he figured out what a f-stop was, a camera has never been more than an arm’s length away throughout his varied and adventurous life. This short book tells that story and more alongside some of Sprague’s favorite pictures. Sprague Theobald Photography—My Life in Pictures is a delightful introduction to his wonderful wider body of work. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ICE A sailor and his family's harrowing and inspiring story of their attempt to sail the treacherous Northwest Passage. Sprague Theobald has always had an affinity for the sea. From his three-year stint on the America's Cup yacht, Intrepid, to his private voyages spanning the western hemisphere and beyond, Sprague has over 40,000 deep water miles under his belt. Sprague’s passion for the sea is revealed in his award-winning writing and film work, where he has received both national and international recognition for his writing, producing, cinematography, and editing. As a successful documentarian, he and his production company—Hole in The Wall Productions—have worked from Alaska to Zanzibar. His films have been well received, highlighted by two Emmy Awards: The first for his America’s Cup documentary, “The 25th Defense” and the second for "The Other Side of the Ice". Sprague’s writing and commentary have been published in The New York Times as well as many major national and international magazines. He spent several seasons as a staff writer for two of the Showtime Network’s episodic shows and worked as a successful screenwriter in Los Angeles. Sprague has also worked both in front of and behind the camera as a broadcast journalist/producer for eight years at an NBC affiliate. PRAISE FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ICE “…one of the most riveting books I have read in a long time.” “I loved it and had a hard time putting it down. Some might think it foolhardy that the author would take on such a grueling and dangerous adventure with his children, no less, and maybe it was, but I admire anyone who follows through with their life's dream.” “I was mesmerized by this story, particularly by the descriptions of the far north most of us will never travel to…”
