Описание: Give the gift of the National Parks with this beautiful coffee table book: the most complete photography book about all the 61 US National Parks, and the only one with location notes for each photograph. Winner of 6 national book awards. QT Luong has updated and expanded his national parks book by adding 24 more pages, 28 new locations, and revising all the maps. Treasured Lands: A Photographic Odyssey Through Americas National Parks pays tribute to the millions of acres of protected wilderness and historical heritage in all our countrys 61 national parks, including the two designated since the award-winning first edition was published in 2016 and became an instant classic.
Luong, who is featured in Ken Burns and Dayton Duncans documentary The National Parks: Americas Best Idea, is the most prolific photographer working in the national parks and the only one to have made large-format photographs in each of them. In an odyssey that spanned more than a quarter century and 300 visits, Luong focused his lenses on iconic landscapes and rarely seen remote views, presenting his journey in this sumptuous array of more than 600 breathtaking images.
Accompanying the collection of scenic masterpieces is a guide that includes maps of each park, as well as extended captions that detail where and how the photographs were made. Designed to inspire visitors to connect with the parks and invite photographers to re-create these landscapes, the guide also provides anecdotal observations that give context to the pictures and convey the sheer scope of Luongs extraordinary odyssey.
Including a foreword by author and documentary filmmaker Dayton Duncan, Treasured Lands is a rich visual tour of the U.S. National Parks and an invaluable guide from a photographer who hiked-or paddled, dived, skied, snowshoed, and climbed-each park, shooting in all kinds of terrain, in all seasons, and at all times of day. QT Luongs timeless gallery of the nations most revered landscapes beckons to nature lovers, armchair travelers, and photography enthusiasts alike, keeping Americas natural wonders within reach.
