A Photographer's Journal

These books are powered by sweat and joy; steep hills and exhilarating telemark skiing descents into silent stands of snowy trees. The land and its smells and tastes are embedded in the memory of those lucky enough to have immersed themselves in it. Michael's goal is to transport you: to the soft meadows, the smooth, hard granite, and the dancing trees of earth's remarkable mountains, hills, and plains. In this volume Michael explores the complex texture and facets of the American West. From the old paths of the Berkeley Hills to the expansive landscapes of Utah, he will show the reader a unique view of this rich and diverse region.
