Each of the 260 brilliant photographs in this marvelous collection is unique. Some are alive with bright colors and sparkling highlights, others evoke softer, quieter moods in muted hues and subtle gradations. Where one summons a vast, still landscape that fades into distant silence, the next vibrates with the energy of charging bull or an exuberant chil at play. But whether they show us crowded city streets or empty wilderness, all of these arresting pictures share one compelling quality: a sure sense of place that pulls us into the frame and turns an image into an experience.
