Summary: An intimate focus
Review: In this stunning collection, photographer Marion Patterson shares her mystical vision of the western landscape. She focuses on the intimate details of the environment-a hidden waterfall cascading down a rocky stair, the twisted roots of a fallen redwood, patterns of foam bubbles and pebbles left by the receding tide. She guides us in savoring the small delights of nature.

Review: Marion Patterson is to be commended for her excellent photographic work. A journey of spirit, a delight for the senses, tactile photography at its best....words can't quite capture the essence of these marvelous images, frozen with the click of the shudder for all to see.

This album of delights will be treasured in any collection.

Summary: Unique Vision of the Intimate Landscage
Review: Marion Patterson's book of B&W photographs on the California landscape is visual poetry. These are not the big scenes of an Ansel Adams (who was a dear friend and mentor to Marion), but an intimate vision of nature through a lifetime focused on seeing and expressing her relationship with the living landscape. The print quality is superb, so one can really appreciate the subtleties of these beautiful images.
