Christopher Brown has spent the last forty years as a river guide hiking, rafting, & photographing the Grand Canyon. Avoiding the all-too-familiar rim views of the Canyon, Brown & his camera explore the remote & seldom-seen grottoes along the Colorado River. He returns from these trips with new & stunning images, including many never-before & rarely photographed views, to create transcendent, painterly prints of the wilderness. Path of Beauty is a refreshingly original trip to the Grand Canyon from a photographer who approaches the natural wonder as a giant art gallery full of undiscovered tableaux. The result of Brown's lifelong love affair with the Earth, this book
Includes:: seventy-four profoundly beautiful, full-color photographs, as well as reflective essays exploring the physical, emotional, & aesthetic aspects of life in the Canyon. Brown's work transcends literal description, evoking deep pleasure, & inviting introspection. With a vision both unique & compelling, he shows us a Canyon full of aesthetic delights that will please lovers of the wilderness, photography, & fine art alike.
