A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

2008 Foreword Magazine's Book of the Year, Gold Medal - Regional category.

"This version of the Western landscape is a wilderness experience, and Ortner's aim simply to honor these places in their pristine beauty. A large format helps to convey the scope of the vistas...It is also a format big enough to experience the images viscerally: the textures stone and brush and water running through them are almost palpable."
--Color Magazine

"Throughout the book, Jon Ortner captures the natural beauty of the Southwest in his stunning photographs...Canyon Wilderness of the Southwest is truly a visual delight."
--Southwest Art Magazine

"Jon Ortner's oversized, full-page color photos of the Southwest embellishes an album perfect for both photography collections and those documenting the landscapes of the American Southwest. It's a deluxe, numbered, signed and limited edition of an outstanding collection of over 200 images -- including 100 panoramas shot in over 650 locations across a 130,000 square-mile area. The geology and landmarks of this region are outstanding: towers, spires, arches, domes, bridges, and more...It's simply unparalleled in its scope, presentation, and coverage."
--Midwest Book Review

"Magnificent...Ortner's photographs encompass nothing less than a history of Southwestern geology told in incredibly dramatic terms...he has invested inert matter and archetypal forms with a sense of mysterious silence and timelessness."
--THE Magazine

"Exquisite...a visual feast."
--NationalGeographic.com

"Uncannily evocative images."
--Town and Country
