Reviews
Peter’s view through the lens of Ansel Adams drew me into this book. I could tell of Peter’s respect for Adams and for the “nature” he photographs. The Ansel Adams poster in my office evokes the same feeling as the photo of “Nancy Pass” (pg. 34-35)—(my poster photo is: 79-AAF-12 "Grand Canyon National Park," broad panorama with detail of canyon, horizon, and mountains above). The shadow and light effects on the stark landscape is what appeals to me. This book is more than just the photos and a photo journalists’ account of his photos, but it is a personal tribute to a master photographer. I especially enjoyed reading the “Photographer’s Notes.” Peter describes how and where he captured his photos, which makes the exploration of this book a very personal experience. Loved it!!!
