Author Description

"The 111 images presented in this book invite the viewer to share a vision of the world as seen through the eyes of award-winning photographer Jan Bell. These photographs are the culmination of two decades of passionate work. Growing up on a farm in the flatlands of the Midwest instilled an appreciation for the land. This innate passion has continued into his adult life and translates as the collection of contemplative black and white photographs contained within this book. Bell is passionate about wilderness and the protection of it. While the vastness of North America seems boundless, these natural areas are forever at risk of disappearing. The images presented on the following pages document the splendor of the varied landscapes of North America, captured during Bell's many treks into the wilderness."--Book jacket flap.
