“THE NATIONAL PARKS: OUR AMERICAN LANDSCAPE” (Photographer Ian Shive)
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009Today I want to talk about a Style of photography that I don’t shoot as often. As most of you know, I am an Event Photographer (Weddings, Bar Mitzvah, Sweet Sixteen, etc…) - CLICK HERE TO CHECK SOME SAMPLES -, and I for some reason I didn’t feel the “call” of doing nature and Landscape Photography.
But for the rest of you that would like to check more about that, I would recommend you to get the newly released book “THE NATIONAL PARKS: OUR AMERICAN LANDSCAPE”- by photographer Ian Shive.
The National Parks: Our American Landscape(Earth Aware Editions, August 2009) presents a wonderfully updated photographic survey of the nation’s greatest treasures. Seen through the eyes of the National Parks magazine photographer and International League of Conservation Photographers member Ian Shive, America’s National Park System comes to life through a collection of more than 200 new photographs.
Sponsored by the National Parks Conservation Association and the International League of Conservation Photographers, Shive’s first book of photography is a journey to the places that have long inspired him. “Since my youth,” Shive writes, “I’ve seen the national parks as the last authentic vestiges of America’s wildest places — symbols of its one-of-a-kind spirit.”
Thomas C. Kiernan, President of the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), has contributed a foreword to the book.
A portion of the proceeds from book sales will go to the NPCA.
