Críticas:

A beautifully illustrated book of pictures which serve to show a photographer's relationship with the subject, and will inspire.--Canadian Camera (01/01/2002) Catch[es] geography and the elements at the instant they are extraordinary ... [an] exquisite portfolio of 150 photographs.-- (11/24/2001) J.A. Kraulis is to Canadian photography what the Group of Seven was to Canadian landscape painting ... After leafing through this lush book, all I can say is, 'Oh, Canada!'-- (11/18/2001) Kraulis's 150 portraits would be stunning in any event; infused with the photographer's sense of onrushing time, they're magical.--Maclean's (12/10/2001) Truly a thing of beauty, this book is sure to become an instant treasure ... A copy of this book would be a wonderful addition to your library and an inspiration to your soul.-- (05/01/2002) Kraulis has compiled a lovely volume whose simplicity and elegance accentuates rather than overshadows this visual introduction to the beauty of Canada.--Photovision (11/01/2002)

Reseña del editor:

A flash of lightning explodes across a summer sky; a sudden winter storm descends on a tranquil coastal bay; in a moment of absolute stillness, the surface of a mirror-like lake reflects the world around it. This is Canada. The Canadian Landscape is a collection of more than 125 of Kraulis' exquisite photographs. Each stunning images tells the tale of a vast country and of a photographer's relationship with it. The text consists of a concise introduction and short, descriptive captions that accompany each photograph. The book is organised east to west by region, covering: - Atlantic region and sub Arctic - St. Lawrence and Great Lakes region - Prairies - Rocky Mountains - West coast rain forests and Pacific Ocean - The photographs capture a range of views - from colourful wildflowers growing in the Rockies to the subtle shades of grey in an aerial view of the badlands. With only a few exceptions, these photographs portray vast, uninhabited vistas of exceptional grandeur. The photographer's challenge is to discover these landscapes at the precise moment that they transform from scenic to extraordinary. Such images are found in this book. The text and captions are bilingual, English and French.
