If God were to choose a photographer to record his creations, I am sure he would pick Art Wolfe. Full of his standard great photos, a pleasure to look at.

This makes a great gift, especially for someone who does not live in the USA.

Looks for the details in nature

The book "California" is filled with many photos of various areas in California----some of the standard or usual places like Yosemite, etc. But many are of off-the-beaten-path areas that many people would not recognize as being California. I bought the book for photos of the few places I've visited and the only short-coming I can list for this book is that I was hoping for photos of more, well-known areas or a "classic" California. The book has photos of animals and closeups of items in nature that are interesting but could have been taken anywhere. I think the author was bored with the usual and went one step further, hoping the readers would appreciate details in nature. I did appreciate the book and it was worth the money but would have enjoyed more of the beautiful, classic sites---such as, McWay falls, better variations of photos of Pt. Lobos, the outstanding views you find in the deserts instead of closeups of desert plants, etc. My comments are not intended to keep anyone from enjoying this nice book but are meant to reflect my personal expectations when paging through a book named "California". Enjoy. Jerry Hughes
