Internationally acclaimed fine-art photographer Ella McBride (1862–1965) played an important role in the Northwest's photography community and was a key figure in the national and international pictorialist photography movements. Despite her many accomplishments, which include managing the photography studio of Edward S. Curtis for many years and being an early member of the Seattle Camera Club, McBride is little known today. Captive Light: The Life and Photography of Ella E. McBride reconsiders her career and the larger pictorialist movement in the Northwest. The book accompanies an exhibition that is co-curated by David F. Martin, a Seattle gallerist and leading art historian on Northwest artists of the early twentieth century, and Margaret E. Bullock, curator of collections and special exhibitions at Tacoma Art Museum. Captive Light is part of the Tacoma Art Museum's Northwest Perspective Series on significant Northwest artists.

Published in conjunction with an exhibition of the same title at the Portland Art Museum (Dec. 2004 - March 2005), this oversize (10.25x12.25") catalog displays over 50 color reproductions, many of which are of paintings that Hassam created during his two trips to the West (Oregon and the surrounding regions) in 1904 and 1908. Curator Bullock describes the highly prolific artist's life and work, discussing the Western paintings in the context of all Hassam's work, as well as Hassam's desire to create art that was entirely American. The volume concludes with a working list of the Western paintings, a checklist of works in the exhibition, and a list of plate illustrations. Distributed by the U. of Washington Press.
