Desert Light: A Photographer's Journey Through Desert Southwest
"Just when you think you've seen every possible photo of every southwestern place, John Annerino brings us a delightfully fresh look. Willing to escape the beaten paths and comfortable camps, Annerino shows each location from a new angle and in a new light. He totes his camera to Bisti Badlands, Monument Valley, the summit of Picacho del Diablo, the shores of Sea of Cortez, the depths of the Grand Canyon, and in between.Desert Lightevokes the mysteries and beauties that are the Southwest, blending art, humanity and adventure. This book says "Southwest."-- Southwest Book of the Year"Desert Lightis just stunning! The images are incredible. And the printing is absolutely first rate. I will treasure it!"--Sierra Club Books"I've lived in the Southwest most of my life, and I have never seen collections of photographs that are as beautiful and vividly alive as those shared by John Annerino inDesert Light. It's like glimpses of a parallel universe where the suchness of it all is greater than can usually be seen and known in the ordinary world of our perceptions. The faces of those few humans one encounters out there seem to come out of the past millennia. With heartfelt gratitude for John Annerino's artistry."--Mindfulness, John Bilby"This project, and John's others as best as I can tell, represents an amazing life's work. With all the trekking the author does in these pursuits, there still resonates a 'yin' side to the work -- it shows in the photos. The book has clearly made an impact on those of us who have seen it."--Angela Lavoy, Editor"What did I find in my mailbox but a handsome book, "Desert Light." I especially enjoyed the chapter on Tiburon Island."--Neil Carmony, Author
