On the bookshelf: A Shadow Falls

A Shadow Falls is a impressive book. Impressive in its physical size (nearly 16 x 13 inches). Impressive in its vision (vast African savanas). Impressive in its goals (to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa).

The images are stunning. The tritone plates have a mesmerizing quality to them. Although the shots of elephants are perhaps the most famous examples of his work I found the images of the wildebeest migration the most powerful.

Enjoy.

    I’ve seen the online images he’s posted on his website. Very, very good stuff. A lot of it seems like it could work well printed really big, immersing the viewer. Have to check out the book.
