Editorial Reviews

It didn't receive its name until 1872, but the Grand Canyon has been attracting attention ever since settlers wandered into this steep-walled gorge. Among its greatest appreciators have been landscape photographers, who have stretched the limits of their art form from the era of glass plate negatives to cutting-edge digital images. In Lasting Light, Ansel Adams Award–winning photographer and photojournalist Stephen Trimble walks readers through the stirring 125-year history of Grand Canyon picture taking. Essays by 21 contemporary nature photographers supplement his insightful narrative and the ravishing images.
